TWO RED SHIRTS LEADERS SENT TO PRISON
BANGKOK, May 12 (Bernama) -- Two Red Shirts leaders, including Jatuporn Prompan who is an election candidate, were sent to prison as the Criminal Court revoked their bails Thursday.
The court found that Jatuporn and Nisit Sinthuprai had violated their bail conditions as their speeches delivered at Democracy Monument, here, on April 10, could incite unrest.
The two who face terrorism charges following last year's April-May unrest in the country, had been released on bail and one of the bail conditions was that they must not incite unrest.
However, Jatuporn escaped remand in prison all this while due to his parliamentary immunity as he was a Member of Parliament before the dissolution of Parliament on Tuesday.
With this development, Nisit was sent back to the Bangkok Remand Prison, here.
The Red Shirts rally was held at Democracy Monument on April 10 to mark the first anniversary of clashes between Red Shirts protesters and troops at the Khuk Wua intersection, here.
The Criminal Court did not revoke bails for seven other Red Shirts leaders as requested by the prosecutors.
They are Veera Mushikapong, Natthawut Saikua, Weng Tojirakam, Korkaew Pikulthong, Kwanchai Sarakham, Yossawaris Chuklom and Wiphuthalaeng Pattanaphumthai.
All of them face terrorism charges and still released on bail.
"I am still an election candidate and will contest in this general
election," said Jatuporn as he was leaving the courthouse and escorted to the Bangkok Remand Prison.
Ninety-one people died and more than 1,800 others injured in the unrest in last year, mostly in the capital, as the Red Shirts anti-government protesters held street protests in demanding the dissolution of Parliament then.
