Justice Ministry to pay Bt26 million bail for 13 red shirts

The Justice Ministry's Fund will post Bt26 million as bond for the temporary release of 13 red shirts convicted and imprisoned for arson attacks in Mukdahan in May, 2010 pending the appellate review, Justice Minister Pracha Promnok said on Friday.

 

 
The arson attacks happened in retaliation to the crowd control operations at Ratchaprasong rallies in Bangkok.
The provincial court sentenced the 13 to serve 20 years and eight months each in jail for torching the provincial hall. The case involving the 13 is undergoing the appellate review.
