Opposition Democrat leader Abhisit Vejjajiva and party member Suthep Thaugsuban have asked to postpone their meeting with police investigators, who were to question them about the deaths of redshirt protesters last year, sources said.
Democrat spokesman Chavanont Intarakomalsut said Abhisit had only the night before received a letter summoning him for an interrogation session Friday.
Abhisit asked the police to give him two weeks before the questioning, the party spokesman said.
Chavanont said that both Abhisit and Suthep were busy people and needed time to prepare for the questioning. He also said the police should deal with the cases independently, free of any political pressure from the government.
Before leaving for Sukhothai Friday, Abhisit said he had yet to read the letter he received from the Metropolitan Police Bureau.
