The Constitutional Court Friday filed a police complaint against the four red shirts who have been leading the rally outside the court complex, accusing them of defamation and inciting unrest.
Panya Udchachon, deputy secretary-general of the Office of the Constitutional Court, filed the complaint at the Crime Suppression Division asking that action be taken against Pongpisit Pongsena, Thanachai Sihin, Mongkol Nongbualamphu and Sornrak Malaithong.
Panya also provided a recording of the rally as evidence.
The complaint accused the four of violating Articles 136 of the Penal Code in the speeches they delivered in front of some 200 red-shirt demonstrators. The group has been rallying since Monday to demand that all nine judges step down after the court agreed to review whether amendments to the charter were Constitutional or not.
The complaint also said that the four group leaders referred to the judges’ work in a manner that affected their reputation, adding that the accused incited the crowd to hate the court and cause disturbance.
