PM tells officers who raided red-shirt leader’s house to strictly follow the law

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has instructed officers who raided a house in Pathum Thani and reportedly found weapons to strictly adhere to legal procedures as he did not want their actions to be linked to past political conflicts, Government Spokesman Sansern Kaewkamnerd said on Sunday.
Sansern rejected the notion that the raid was a set-up by the authorities as the raided house was hardly inhabited and the weapons they claimed to have found there were packed tightly in boxes, which contradicted the authorities' report.
Sansern said such weapons posed a risk to public safety and violated the law, and that's the reason why the security officers had raided the house, known to be linked to one of extremist red-shirt leaders.
