Red leaders will not avail themselves of an amnesty in connection with the political mayhem, Deputy Commerce Minister Nattawut Saikua said on Tuesday.
The reds want justice to run its course in order to set a precedent that will prevent a repeat of political violence,” he said.
Nattawut rejected the blanket absolution proposed by the House committee vetting the amnesty bill.
Nattawut said he does not want to benefit from the bill and he wanted the leaders of the previous government to be tried in court for ordering the crackdowns on the demonstrators.
He added that court cases against the previous government would set a precedent for future governments not to use force to suppress the people.
