Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva on Thursday reminded the authorities to uphold the rule of law when handling cases involving the red shirts linked to the last year’s violence.<br />
“Charges should be in compliance with the rule of law,” he said.<br />
Abhisit was reacting to a proposal of the Truth for Reconciliation Commission of Thailand to reduce the indictments for red-shirt leaders from terrorism to lesser charges, such as criminal association and “ang yee” ( underground criminal organisation).<br />
He said he had no personal opinion on the legal proceedings for the reds.<br />
