Korkaew to learn his fate April 22
Play
The Criminal Court will make a decision on Monday whether to allow Pheu Thai party-list MP Korkaew Pikulthong to remain on release from Bangkok Remand Prison or not.
Korkaew, one of defendants in the terrorism case related to the red-shirt protests in 2010, was released from the Bangkok Remand Prison during the current parliamentary session, which ended Friday.
On November 30 last year, the Criminal Court revoked Korkaew’s bail on grounds that he acted and spoke out in a way considered intimidating to the Constitutional Court judges.
Korkaew submitted his new request for bail to the court and the court held a session Thursday on whether to consider his request. They will make their final decision at 10am Monday on whether Korkaew can remain out on bail.
Winyat Chartmontree, a lawyer of the red-shirt movement, said although the current parliamentary session has expired, Korkaew does not have to be detained because his request for bail is pending a decision of the court. He will have to go back to prison only if the court rejects his bail request on Monday, the lawyer said.
