Ex-Pheu Thai MP to be flown to Chiang Mai to be tried by military court

BANGKOK: -- Former Pheu Thai MP for Chiang Mai Ms Tassanee Buranapakorn and 10 suspects are to be flown to Chiang Mai in a military transport plane on Tuesday for further interrogation before they are to be tried in the military court.

All the 11 suspects were charged with involvement in the distribution of distorted mails to mislead the public about the draft charter.

In accordance with the protocol, they are to be examined by doctors from the Police General Hospital and have their backgrounds updated before they are to be escorted by police to Don Meuang for a military flight to Chiang Mai.

Meanwhile on the same day UDD chairman Jatuporn Promphan and 18 core members will show up at the Crime Suppression Division headquarter as summoned by the police in connection with the charge of setting up a centre to monitor suspected cheats in the referendum.

Jatuporn said he still believes that there is a 50:50 percent chance that the referendum may not be held on August 7. He demanded Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha to state clearly without any doubt that the referendum will proceed.

The UDD, said Jatuporn, is fully supportive of the referendum.

Only 50% chance that the referendum may not be held?

[Thechook]

Being prosecuted and facing prison for having  an opinion on the draft charter.  Meanwhile Abhisit Vejjajiva publically expresses his opinion of the charter which wasn't favourable to the military junta but he wasn't arrested or charged.  It is very plain to see that this is still a personal vendetta against the previous government and nothing to do with reconciliation and bringing happiness to all the people.

What is it with being prosecuted for having an opinion on something that may not even happen yet?  Jatuporn said he still believes that there is a 50:50 percent chance that the referendum may not be held on August 7. He demanded Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha to state clearly without any doubt that the referendum will proceed.

What is going to happen if the Junta actually decide to hold an election, will it be cancelled if polls indicate they will lose?

 

[canuckamuck]

I would love to know what the content of the distorted mailings was. I imagine it was simply a plain language description of what the constitution actually means for Thailand. And that of course is not what the Junta would like to see getting around.

This is the reason why critiques of the charter were banned.

[Plutojames88]

This is more.....
It's a challenge ....this woman is powerfully connected.
They have two choices.( The military ) 

The most obvious is the path they have chosen .
Crucify her and others in front of the population most against them.
Red heart city.( Chiang Mai)

Or Acquit them.

TS must be smirking .
How long now can these guys get away with this act ( the military?)
Yet more rich families against them.

One day I can envision a general or two being bought to represent someone else's interests.
And the old men in Bangkok might have some tanks under some liberation banner facing off.
Then the people come out to assist.?

Interesting times.

The pie faced, self aggrandizing terrorist has demands, proof that there really is no justice in this country.

Hopefully they don't try to jump out of the plane. Or contract "blood poisoning".

"proof that there really is no justice in this country."    Your right there is no justice here, but with the junta breaking human rights laws every day here and trying civilians in a military court, WHY  oh why are you not condemning that first and foremost???   C'mon out you few junta huggers, come out and justify civilians tried in military courts,,,, you won't because you know it's wrong at every level but you stay quiet,  It just shows you for what you are, willing to trade human rights and sacrifice others for your political point of view,  gutless,  and without any moral compass...

Shows what you are, supporting people that kill children in a public market and then cheer their deaths. Say what you want, your sick opinion means nothing to me, at least the killing has ceased and it's been ages since I saw terrorists attempting to burn a fuel tanker on the streets of Bangkok. What YOU support a crooked, thieving, despicable band of thugs says everything about you. Bow to your photos of Thaksin and praise him for changing tax laws days before he sold Shincorp which put protesters on the street and brought about his fall. What a joke Your idea of democracy is, all votes no rule of law.

[Plutojames88]

Remember this woman has served 8 terms as chief executive in Chiang Mai regional politics.
Is very popular .
Highly educated and respected.

Amusingly ( without displaying it here) her email address is "red devil" something ......so she has a sense of humour.

The military are committing an act against the people in more ways than one here.
In trying to make an example of her and others on their turf.
The fallout will be like a tsunami hitting a Japanese nuclear reactor.

Misinformed junta boys here need to realise the reds are as popular as ever.
They didn't shoot 100 souls dead on Bangkok streets.
They don't oppress the populace with guns .

Go right ahead and punish beloved officials at your own peril.
This pressure cooker is having the heated turned up.
She might unleash the Red Devils yet if they decide imprisonment ( military)

Sanctions are long over due in any case this will at least help the international powers to consider implementation .

People are seeing the military dig themselves into a grave hole and its only a matter of time until they are buried.

[Thailand]

It almost seems as if the ptb are deliberately trying to light the blue touch paper?

[Srikcir]

Short of intimidation and deprivation of humility, what relevance to these involuntary medical exams ordered by the military have with the charges?

Ahbisit and Chuan gave affirmative "in your face" No which is more than an opinion expression. The Waha Group in the deep south similarly said No because they opine that the draft will marginalize Islam. Distortion of the charter? These are powerful denunciation of the charter but yet nothing happen to them. This vendetta towards the previous government is too obvious and will only create instability.

The interrogation in Chiang Mai rather than Bangkok may result in large number of supporters turning out and perhaps that's what the junta want as an excuse to call off the referendum.

It's not that only they have an opinion. They used illegal means in their favour. And what they want is not good for t he country - the opposite is true. They only want advantage for their own bank accounts and power greed.

 

Come on - it's not like they are innocent ... far from that (I am not only talking about this event)

Why are Nattawut and Jatuporn still free ?

Given that any new charter can and probably will be torn up at some future date, same as the rest, I really can't see what all the fuss is about.

This event is well documented but you try to say it's 'imagination'.  Just another of your less than honest posts and disrespectful to the children killed and their grieving families. Shame on you.

Doubt anyone posting on this topic, knows the real reasoning behind the decision to use a military court in Chiang Mai for this group.

Guess we will just have to wait and see, who gives what info to the public and how reliable that info appears.

Abhisit expressed his own opinion which is not necessarily that of the Democratic party and he was one person.

quote " Meanwhile on the same day UDD chairman Jatuporn Promphan and 18 core members will show up at the Crime Suppression Division headquarters as summoned by the police in connection with the charge of setting up a centre to monitor suspected cheats in the referendum."

In this case, which is entirely different from Abhisit's, Jatuporn plus 18 others were charged with setting up a centre to monitor suspected cheats during the referendum.

Like chalk and cheese,they are nothing like each other.

Jatuporn ALSO said that he believes there is only a 60/50 chance of the referendum being held on the 7th. Fair enough, but he wasn't charged with that at all.

 

[tukkytuktuk]

Travel warnings should be issued for Tourists visiting Chiang Mai. Only six days to go until the dreaded referendum. What is certain is the army will win. What is uncertain is will protests happen? The tension is definitely in the air, as many posters have hinted it won't take much to start a protest. But the added danger this time is who is there to stop the bloodshed this time? Playing with fire? Absolutely. A low profile reform would have been better, but the egos of the top brass have been making things worse for the nation, that is slowly turning an already divided country to civil war. A war on the scale of the recent genocide of Pol Pot's Khmer rouge.

Check your facts before you accuse some one of the wrong thing mate!!!

It was ramrod711 that clamed I support the people that killed children and cheered, Well he is just as wrong as you are, first try reading my post then his reply with his accusation, then my rebuttal, now following his incorrect remarks is your just as ill informed ill conceived and deceitful claims.

"Such an imagination you have little fella"  was my response to ramrod711 for his suggestion I should bow down to a picture of Thaksin and  is nothing to do with  "but you try to sat it's imagination".  NEVER ever have I disputed it is imagination NOW it's YOU who has and imagination and throwing out ridicules claims and falsehoods, Go back and read the post properly. Now if you are man enough an apology would be appropriate.

Yes you bring up a good point about how she and others of the Theu Thai party are being treated when compared to  loose lips Abhisit Vejjajiva. This whole thing is being played out like some kind of preordained charade. People are being publicly shown by the junta which side of the bread the government wants them to butter.

No they're not. They are being prosecuted for altering documents and adding deliberate lies and then circulating them. PTP have a history of lying and getting away with it. This time appears not. 

Jatuporn - the guy out on bail for terrorism. His opinion really counts. And again he continues for flaunt the conditions of his bail. One day, he might just get a surprise.
