Since nobody stepped up to the plate on this one, I have since heard that what happened was that the Thai Army raided a house in Trat to catch the suspects of the Khao Saming, Trat killings at the yellow shirt rally a while back. The one where two small girls were killed.
Apparently, one soldier died in the raid, one suspect got away, and two were arrested.
I can only imagine their testes are now 12 volts, and rightfully so.
That is true, but like most idealistic warriors, they need to be told what to do, and their leaders are locked up at the moment. Love him or hate him, Prayuth played his cards well. He only delayed the inevitable though. Hopefully his payments on the rice scheme and, so far, treating the reds the same as the yellows will keep things calm.
This is simple not true.Originally Posted by pickel
Suthep freed, charged with rebellion | Bangkok Post: news
Suthep Thaugsuban and four of his senior core leaders of the defunct People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) were released from military detention Monday morning and was escorted to the Attorney General to be charged with insurrection.
I want my CNN.
What have the reds been charged with during this coup? As far as their incarceration, both sides have been incarcerated. In case you didn't notice, it's a coup.Originally Posted by Fluke
Are the red shirt leaders still being held? Did they commit any violence over the last 6 months that the coup claims to be about?
Are any yellow shirt leaders still being held? How about the numerous folk who have committed crimes, have warrants out for their arrest, etc over the last 6 months that the coup claims to be about?
This junta mob have been very clear since 2006 who they support, and they have been very clear since the coup who they support. Have the arrested suthep's or abhisit's or Banharn's family members, are they looking into their bank accounts, corruption cases, etc???
It really is very very simple: all, ALL, the demands from suthep's group are now being carried out by the junta.
Cycling should be banned!!!
As leaders of the group that opposes to the coup, it makes perfect sense to detain them and prevent them from organising protests.
The yellow leaders are hardly going to cause the army any trouble having achieved their goal, so what is the point of detaining them further. Free them on bail for the time being.
Aint life unfair !!!!
So, you seem to agree, Tax, the PADites and junta are aligned, as one, against the reds.
If Suthep's goal was to appear before a Court Martial on charges of murder and rebellion then I suppose you could be right.
When we see what replaces the nominated Senate and the Constitutional Court, and what a new constitution looks like, then I might agree with you more.
Right now I don't think anyone truly has what they wanted, except perhaps the farmers, and we know who they vote for...especially now they are receiving the money Yingluck promised. Funny old world innit?
I see fish. They are everywhere. They don't know they are fish.
Its not quite as clear cut as that, but I do agree with the coup, and with the complete demolition of thaksins empire
Given everything that has occurred so far, and considering everything that may occur in the not too distant future the country will be better off under the yellows, or even under the military than it would be in the hands of the reds.
Without thaksin at the helm, the reds are a spent force, and yingluck, game as she was, just wasnt up to the task in hand. Even old man thaksin is well past his prime now, and should he ever return, it will be to a very different thailand.
Only time will tell of course who was right and who was wrong.
If you can't do it democratically through elections why not get the army, the courts and the others that cannot be named to usurp power.Originally Posted by taxexile

Did Suthep demand to be charged with insurrection?Originally Posted by Bettyboo
That, along with abhisit's cases, was done well before the junta stepped in. The telling part will be to see who is sentencesd to what, and where/if they serve a sentence (many reds still in jail; no PADites ever been out in jail). The previous PAD leader was found guilty of many crimes, but never served a day in jail...Originally Posted by pickel
