15 revolutionary activists freed on bail

 

 

BANGKOK: -- The Bangkok Military Court on Monday freed on bail 15 activists of the so-called Revolutionary Alliance for Democracy but banned them from engaging in political activities and from travelling abroad.

 

The 15 suspects are facing charges of defying an NCPO announcement regarding illegal assembly in public of more than five people and being members of an illegal organization in accordance with Section 209 of the Criminal Code.

 

Their lawyer, Mr Thanadet Puangpoon, put up the surety, 100,000 baht each, to obtain their bailout.

 

On August 19, the Bangkok Military Court ordered the 15 suspects detained for 12 days.

I read in the paper that they were called "Communists" gee I hope Mr Xi the buddy of Mr. P does not get wind of this comment or it could mean that certain loans made could be called in. Mr. Xi has a very thin skin.

an illegal organization in accordance with Section 209 of the Criminal Code.

 Title V, "Offence Relating to Public Peace”:

Whoever to be a member of a body of persons whose proceedings are secret and whose aim to be unlawful, is said to be a member of a secret society, shall be punished with imprisonment not exceeding seven years and fined not exceeding fourteen thousand Baht.

 If the offender be the chief, manager or office-bearer in such body of persons, such person shall be punished with imprisonment not exceeding ten years and fined not exceeding twenty thousand Baht.    

 Unless such a secret society is able to successfully overthrow a government. Then the Penal Code has no application.
