Charter change inquiry begins
The Constitution Court on Thursday convened the two-day inquiry on the constitutionality of the charter change bill.
The high court will today hear the testimonies of seven witnesses against charter change.
The seven are Somjet Boonthanom (complainant and former junta member), Dej-udom Krairit (senator), Thongchai Chamnankit (activist), Wiratana Kalayasiri (complaintant and Democrat MP), Surapon Nitikraipot (former charter writer), Varin Tiemchamras (senator) and Boworn Yasintorn (complainant and activist).
Tomorrow the inquiry continues with rebuttals from eight witnesses for charter change.
A small number of ex-Communists from the Northeast encamped overnight to lend support for and act as shield of the inquiry. The supporters have billed themselves as counter forces to the red shirts.
Police said a company of policemen were deployed to keep peace but there was no disturbances detected.
