Bail for red-shirt leaders should be revoked, Democrats say

The opposition Democrat Party Monday asked the Department of Special Investigation and the AttorneyGeneral's Office to get the Criminal Court to withdraw bail for red-shirt leaders who recently threatened Constitution Court judges.

Democrat MP Wirut Kalayasiri, a key member of the party’s legal team, said Monday that red-shirt leaders Natthawut Saikua, Jatuporn Promphan, and Yoswalit Chooklom had severely criticised the judges for deciding to review petitions against an amendment to allow a rewrite of the Constitution.

Wirut said the three red-shirt leaders, who are closely connected to the ruling Pheu Thai Party and government, threatened judges from the Constitution Court and provoked hatred among their red-shirt supporters.
