Rule of law must prevail on reds cases: Abhisit
Play
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.
“Charges should be in compliance with the rule of law,” he said.
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).
He said he had no personal opinion on the legal proceedings for the reds.
