Interior Minister Jarupong Ruangsuwan Monday revealed that the legal team is brainstorming to file charges against Democrat MP Suthep Thaugsuban, for proceeding with the protest without a proper reason.
He said that Suthep's original demand was to have the government withdraw all amnesty bills. Now that all coalition parties agreed to his demand, Suthep still led the protest and refiled the demand that all amnesty bills be dropped by 6pm today.
The minister said he personally viewed this as a new condition and Suthep could be charged for treason.
He also urged the Democrats to bring its fight against corruption to Parliament. He admitted that there are concerns on the negative impact of this on investment sentiment. If Thailand loses any opportunity, the Democrats must be responsible for that, he said.
