Gaybutton Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Since the rally seems to be subdued today, rather than call this Day 7, I'll stick to individual reports that may be of interest to you. The following appears in the BANGKOK POST: _____ Case being prepared against reds Published: 18/03/2010 at 12:36 PM Police are preparing a case for legal action against the red-shirts who rallied in front of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's house in Sukhumvit Soi 31 on Wednesday. Pol Maj-Gen Anuchai Lekbamrung, the Metropolitan Police Division 5 commander, said during the rally the protesters poured blood, said to be drawn from the red shirts, on the ground in front of the gate of the prime minister's residence, splashed the blood on the fence and threw bags blood and other objects over the fence. Many of the bags landed on the house's roof. Police would examine recordings of closed-circuit television cameras installed around Mr Abhisit's houses and those of the neighbours to see who among the red shirts had broken the law. Those found to have committed legal offences would be summoned to acknowledge charges, Pol Maj-Gen Anuchai said. Pol Maj-Gen Anuchai said police and military personnel would continue to be on guard duty at the prime minister's house around the clock. Vehicles and people acting suspiciously would be checked while passing Sukhumvit Soi 31 and nearby sois. ____________________ PM to Sue Thaksin, Red Leaders Published: 18/03/2010 at 01:08 PM Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has instructed the Democrat Party's lawyers to gather evidence to take legal action against former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship leaders for making false accusations against him, Thepthai Senpong, the PM's personal spokesman, said on Thursday. Democrat Party's team of lawyers is led by Bandhit Siriphan. Mr Thepthai said that Thaksin, in a video link speech to his red-shirted supporters during a rally at Phan Fa bridge, accusing Mr Abhisit of being as dictatorial as Adolph Hitler, the World War II leader of Nazi Germany. UDD leaders Jatuporn Prompan, Suporn Atthawong and Arisman Pongruangrong had also again, during the rallies, replayed a maliciously edited recording of Mr Abhisit's speech before the Songkran riots last year. Each of these people may face at least one or two legal cases. Mr Jatuporn had already been prosecuted in three other cases, Mr Thepthai said. ______________________________ And these, from THE NATION: _____ Assassination Squads Hunting Abhisit: Report By THE NATION Published on March 18, 2010 Intelligence organs have warned of an assassination plot against Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, which is why he had to take cover inside the 11th Infantry Regiment base, PM's Office Minister Satit Wongnongtaey said yesterday. Metropolitan Police spokesman Maj Gen Piya Uthayo also said police obtained a tip-off the premier and some other heavyweights were targets of death squads. City police had stepped up their already-strict security measures for the key figures, he said. Up to six groups known for violence and inciting chaos in the country are being monitored for possible attacks, he said. Abhisit dodged a question from reporters about the assassination plan, leaving in his armoured vehicle without responding. _____ Red Shirts Threaten to Hound PM Everywhere Natthawut Saikua, a red-shirt leader, Thursday vowed to lead protesters to hound Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva no matter where he goes. "Now, the red-shirt people are on alert. If there is a report that the prime minister attends the House meeting today, we will go there to besiege Parliament to submit our demand directly to him," Natthawut said. "We will do the same if the prime minister goes into the Government House but we will not break in. We will follow him no matter where he goes." _____ Red-Shirts Protesting at Thai Bourse About 40 red-shirt supporters protested outside the Thai Stocks Exchange on Thursday morning, demanding probe into whether the finance minister used tax revenue to buy shares recently.

Gaybutton Posted March 18, 2010 Author Posted March 18, 2010 The following appears in the BANGKOK POST: _____ UDD rejects talks offer Published: 18/03/2010 at 04:53 PM The United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship on Thursday rejected Prime Minister Abhsit Vejjajiva's repeated offer to enter into negotiations provided the red-shirt protest remains within the law . UDD co-leader Jatuporn Prompan said there could be no talks as long as the government refuses to consider dissolving dissolve the House of Representatives and calling a general election. Mr Prompan said the UDD is ready for talks but the government must not set pre-conditions. Moreover, the UDD would talk only with Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, not his representatives. "The talks must be be with Mr Abhisit only because Mr Korbsak would not be able to make any decisions and Mr Suthep tells lies on a daily basis," he said, referring to PM secretary-general Korbsak Sabhavasu and Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban. Mr Jatuporn said if the government wanted to talk it must listen to every matter. "The talks must be without pre-conditions because we are not Mr Abhisit's underlings. Forget about the talks, if a House dissolution is left out," he said. Mr Jatuporn said the UDD would not talk if the prime minister did not soften his uncompromising stance. Earlier on Thursday, Mr Abhisit said the government was open to talks provided that the UDD respects the law. Quote
