webfact Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 DSI to seek arrest warrant against acting abbot of Wat Dhammakaya BANGKOK: -- The Department of Special Investigation will seek warrant for the arrest of Phra Sutham Yannavithet, acting abbot of Wat Dhammakaya, after the monk failed to show up to at Thanya Buri court as appointed by DSI officials. Phra Sutham turned himself in to inquiry officers at Klong Luang district police office on Tuesday to acknowledge charges of providing sanctuary to Phra Dhammachayo in accordance with Sections 157 and 189 of the Criminal Code. The inquiry officers refused to grant bail to Phra Sutham who was required to show up on Wednesday at Thanya Buri court. DSI officials reportedly tried repeatedly to contact Phra Sutham but without success as he apparently switched off his mobile phone. They asked one of the monk’s lawyers, Mr Natthachai Kliewpien, who claimed he was fired and no longer his lawyer. The DSI officials waited until 4.30 pm, the office’s closing hour and still there was no trace of Phra Sutham.

yellowboat Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 "DSI officials reportedly tried repeatedly to contact Phra Sutham but without success as he apparently switched off his mobile phone." Oh, dirty pool turning off your phone. The junta will never catch him now. Does the junta know for a fact that Phra Dhammachayo is or was hiding out in the temple ?

klauskunkel Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 this is information from the article: Sutham turned himself in to police, police did not grant bail. Shouldn't he still be in police custody? Or, in Thailand, when you don't get bail, you can go home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srikcir Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I suspect Phra Sutham is about to become critically ill and have to be placed in a makeshift ICU on the wat grounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brer Fox Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 (edited) This comedy/drama just keeps on giving. I offer special thanks to the PM, the government, the RTP, the Army and the Dept. of Special Investigation for the entertainment value provided. Little wonder the government wants to bring in internet censorship to try to supress the public internet laughter at the authorities on their humiliation with the mishandling of this issue and others like it.

Beats dying of a rare blood disorder, or by shoelaces, in police custody. Can't they just use article 44 and arrest everyone who practices at this temple?
