A fresh request for the release on bail of seven United
Front for Democracy againstDictatorship (UDD) leaders will
be filed with the Criminal Court on Monday, Feb 7, Lawyers
Council president Narinpong Jinapak said on Thursday.
The UDD lawyer said he would go to Bangkok Remand
Prison on Monday morning so the seven could sign the bail
request, which would then be filed with the court in the
afternoon.
With consent from UDD chair Thida Thavornseth, 3
million baht would be offered as collateral for the release of
each of the seven - Natthawut Saikua, Weng Tojirakarn,
Korkaew Pikulthong, Nisit Sinthuprai, Kwanchai Sarakham,
Wiphuthalaeng Pattanaphumthai and Yossawaris Chuklom,
alias Jeng Dokchik - who are charged with terrorism in
connection with the April-May violence last year.
Mr Narinpong said the bail request would cite a proposal by
the Truth for Reconciliation Commission, chaired by former
attoney general Kanit Na Nakorn, that the court allow bail for
the suspects.
The release on bail of Chaiwat Sinsuwong and
Somboon Thongburan, charged with involvement in the
People's Alliance for Democracy's (PAD) blockade of
Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports in 2008, would not
be cited in the request since the cases were separate, he
said. Previous bail requests for the UDD leaders were
rejected by the court.
