Pheu Thai to file additional charges against Suthep
BANGKOK, 2 June 2011 (NNT) – The legal team of the Pheu Thai Party has prepared to lodge another petition to the Election Commission (EC) against Democrat Party Secretary-General Suthep Thaugsuban after he accused the party’s MP candidates of being terrorists.
According to Pheu Thai party-listed MP candidate Natthawut Saikua, his party has expressed its clear standpoint to see a transparent election and hoped that it would help solve conflicts within the society, but Mr Suthep has been trying to make groundless accusations against others, notably Pheu Thai candidates.
Mr Suthep has often alleged that the Pheu Thai Party is a party of terrorists and arsonists. Some core members of the United Front of Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD) who have been accused of involving in the burning of buildings around the country last May are currently Pheu Thai MP candidates.
Many places in Bangkok including a number of Bangkok Bank branches, the Center One Shopping Complex, and the Central World Shopping Mall were burnt by unidentified arsonists after the military crackdown on the UDD major protest , killing nearly 100 people last summer.
On 25 May 2011, the Pheu Thai Party handed the EC first petition against its Mr Suthep’s actions deemed to have violated Section 53 of the the constitution pertaining toelectoral law.
The Party's legal team has been assigned to collect further evidence on the Democrat heavyweight Suthep misconduct and submit it to the EC next week, said Nathawut.
