Multicolour shirts condemn political meddling in police job

"There is no justification to transfer General Wichean Potephosree out of the police service," he said.

Tul said if Wichean was guilty of involving in the gambling dens, then he should face the investigation instead of political pressure to dislodge him from office.

He also cast doubt on the government's push to name General Prewpan Damapong as the new police chief.

Prewpan used to be the brother-in-law of fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, he said, asking whether he would do his job by arresting the ex-husband of his sister Khunying Pojaman na Pombejra.
