Police wait court decision on arrest warrants

waving good bye Police are waiting for a court decision on their proposal to issue arrest warrants for the People's Alliance for Democracy's co-leaders for their involvement in the raid on NBT TV station and the Government House.

Police provided to the court video footages of the incidents.

The warrants would cite serious charges, such as inciting crowds to turn unruly, bids to oust the government and intimidate the media, via the NBT raid, and illegally entering government installations, he said.

The nine PAD leaders were Sondhi Limthongkul, Chamlong Srimuang, Pibhop Dhongchai, Somsak Kosaisuk, Somkiat Pongpaiboon, Suriyasai Katasila, Amorn Amornwattananon and Therdpoom Jaidee.

If the Court decided to issue the warrants, they will be charged with storing weapons or people as an act of treason; or committing other offences as part of a plot of treason or instigating the general public to join in the act of treason.

The People's Alliance for Democracy decided on Wednesday that its five leaders would not flee nor surrender to police if the Criminal Court approved the warrants to arrest them later this afternoon.

Despite the awaiting of arrest warrants the government will sue seperately.
