Red-shirt leaders will submit a new bail request for Yoswarit Chooklom next week, Pheu Thai party-list MP and red-shirt leader Weng Tojirakarn said yesterday.
Yoswarit, better known as Jeng Dokjik, had his bail revoked by the Criminal Court on Wednesday for violating conditions for public release. Weng said red shirts accepted the court’s decision, as well as new conditions for other accused reds.
“We are preparing a fresh application for Yoswarit’s bail next week. Moreover Pheu Thai Party leader and Deputy PM Yongyuth Wichaidit and Justice Minister Pracha Promnok were expected to be named in the bail application as guarantors,” he said
Separately, several red-shirt leaders visited Yoswarit at the Bangkok Remand Prison yesterday.
Weng said a red-shirt rally would be held on September 16 to mark six years since the coup that toppled former PM Thaksin Shinawatra. All red-shirt leaders will speak on stage, including Yoswarit , if he is released.
