webfact Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Court rejects arrest warrant request for Phra DhammachayoBANGKOK: -- The Criminal Court has thrown out a request of the enquiry officers of the Department of Special Investigation for an arrest warrant to be issued against Phra Dhammachayo on the ground that the abbot of Wat Dhammakaya has never shown any sign that he will run away.DSI director-general Pol Col Paisit Wongmuang said that the DSI asked for an arrest warrant from the court because the embattled monk was not seriously sick as claimed and that he could perform his religious duties as usual.Commenting on the statements made in the social media by the monk’s doctors and public relations office claiming that Phra Dhammachayo was very sick and could not report himself to the DSI to acknowledge the charges against him, the DSI chief merely said that they had the right to say so.However, he said the picture which was recently posted in the social media showing himself and several DSI officials observing the bandaged legs of the monk was an old picture taken last year.The colonel went on saying that the DSI had sought a court warrant for the arrest of another suspect, Ms Sasithorn Chokeprasit, wanted on charges of money laundering and receiving stolen properties although the suspect has reportedly escaped out of the country.Source: http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/content/161149 -- Thai PBS 2016-04-27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkerry Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 If he can put off chatting to the DSI for as long as he pleases, without any repercussions, then sadly it makes sense he doesn't need to run away... meanwhile Ms Sasithorn who apparently isn't so untouchable has seen the writing on the wall and is no longer in Thailand... just another in a long line of people who can do as they please without any need to answer to anyone.

smedly Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 another fine example of how the Thai justice system needs to brought out of the dark ages, I don't hear any thai officials claiming Thailand as the "Hub of Justice and Law and Order" in Asia The Justice System is the mainstay and backbone that Democracies are built on, if it isn't working or in Thailands case "is seriously flawed" then Democracy cannot function.

Dear Criminal Court, the arrest warrant you are supposed to issue is not because the man would run away, it's because the man doesn't show up, repeatedly. There is a difference, you know. Maybe you don't know...you probably misunderstood. Go back to school and learn things...on second thought, don't do anything. That's what you are good at.

They just don't get it I'm afraid they got it a long time ago but it suits them too well democracy is a hassle if you are over the law just call it democracy for the foreigners and continue the old ways including brainwashing (prevent education) of the pawns Edited April 27, 2016 by sweatalot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not what would be likely to protect him. He must have many better connections and probably heaps of $$$$ to ensure this level of protection.
