Puea Thai threatens to sue PM, Suthep
7/08/2010
Puea Thai Party will take legal action against the prime minister and head of the Centre for the Resolution of Emergency Situation (CRES) Suthep Thaugsuban for negligence, if the government takes no action against members of Thailand Patriot Network who are now rallying against Cambodia’s management plan for Preah Vihear temple in Bangkok, spokesman Jirayu Huangsap said.
“We have set up a war room to closely watch on how the state will enforce the law against against the protesters rallying at Government House and Thai-Japan stadium”, Mr Jirayu said on Saturday.
Under the emergency decree, a gathering of more than five people is prohibited and that the rally by members of the patriot network is a violation of the law, he pointed out.
If the government fails to take legal action against the protesters, it will also prove that it has double standards, he said.
