Public prosecutors Tuesday filed charges against Chamlong Srimuang, Sondhi Limthongkul, Suriyasai Katasila, Pipop Thongchai and six others for allegedly violating the state of emergency in February 2011 by organising a demonstration.
The ten defendants held a rally at the Chamai Maruchet Bridge although the Abhisit government declared the state of emergency and banned rallies. The ten were temporarily released after the charges were filed against them.
