Pheu Thai Party key leader Wattana Muangsook Monday denied in court charges connected with his Facebook criticism of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan.
The Southern Bangkok Criminal Court Monday heard the case filed by prosecutors against Wattana, 58, for allegedly posting false information online that caused damage to others in violation of Article 14 of the Computer Crimes Act.
The suit stated that on March 1 Wattana accused Prayut and Prawit of not returning power to the people on his Facebook page.
The suit said the statement was false because the National Council for Peace and Order had announced the country’s roadmap to democracy and a public referendum for the charter draft. The statement had caused damage to Prayut and Prawit.
