Appeals Court rejects Korkaew's bail request
The Appeals Court Thursday reaffirmed the Criminal Court's decision to reject the request of Pheu Thai party-list MP Korkaew Pikulthong to be freed on bail.
Korkaew, a suspect in the terrorism case related to the political violence in 2010, had his bail revoked by the Criminal Court on November 30 after his speech at a red-shirt rally was seen as intimidation against Constitutional Court judges.
On April 22, the Criminal Court rejected Korkaew’s request on bail on ground that he showed no remorse for his action.
The Appeals Court reasoned Thursday Korkaew had done nothing to convince the court that he would not violate the conditions for his bail again if he was allowed to leave the Bangkok Remand Prison temporarily.
