NACC clears Abhisit, Suthep and Anupong

The NACC also dismissed an im-peachment petition directed against Abhisit, then-deputy PM Suthep Thaugsuban and ex-Army chief General Anupong Paochinda.
NACC secretary general Sansern Polajiak said the NACC had dropped the charges against Abhisit, Suthep and Anupong, all of whom had been accused of malfeasance for ordering police, military and civil officials to use force to disperse the rallies. Efforts to disperse rallies led by red shirt protesters, from April 10 to May 19, 2010, led to heavy casualities. Sansern said the anti-graft agency found that the specific charges for failure to review the use of military force, dereliction of duty and intentionally ordering the killing of innocents, resulting in the loss of lives and assets, had no basis in fact.
The NACC probe concluded that the Centre for Resolution of the Emergency Situation (CRES) reviewed and adjusted operations after  military crowd-control operations on April 10 led to deaths and injuries. As a result, the CRES stopped using force in crowd-control operations and set up checkpoints to prevent more people from entering protest sites in Bangkok’s inner city, in an attempt to pressure protesters to give up, the graft agency said.
