10 April
At 13:00 hrs., the Center for the Administration of Peace and Order (CAPO) informed the press on the outcome of the meeting of the CAPO earlier in the day, gist as follows:
1. The CAPO received a report from the Royal Thai Police regarding Mr. Wuthipong Kachathamkul, alias Ko Tee, for an alleged Lèse majesté offence committed in an interview with the press. The Royal Thai Police has examined the online video clip made on 8 April. The clip showed Mr. Wuthipoing made the offensive remark about the monarchy which is constitute a criminal offense in accordance with Section 112 of the Penal Code. The Prime Minister has instructed the Royal Thai Police to take legal action on this case immediately. It is expected that the court will approve for an arrest warrant against Mr. Wuthipong tomorrow. The CAPO wished to urge the public that publishing or forwarding this video clip may constitute a criminal offense under section 112, which shall be punished with imprisonment of 3-15 years and may also be considered as a criminal offense under the 2007 Computer Crime Act.
2. Regarding the upcoming Constitutional Court ruling on considering the status of Prime Minister ship over the transfer of Thawil Pliensri, secretary general of the National Security Council and the NCCC Commission to indicate a fault in the rice mortgage scheme, the CAPO is deeply concerned with a possible mass rally by both the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) and the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD). To mobilize the masses in such a way may trigger scene of a collision or confrontation. The CAPO wished to urge all parties concerned not to support the public gathering and urged the leaders of both sides to bear in my any possible impacts that could happen from the major rally. The CAPO will be monitoring the situation closely and will perform the duties by law enforcement against demonstrators in both groups on equal basis.
3. Regarding the PDRC’s condition to allow government to restore its function only if the concerned agencies put the signs labeling their support of the PDRC and disallow their ministers to work with the CAPO, the CAPO is of the view that these conditions are critically inappropriate. The government officials must act politically neutral; such condition presented by the PDRC may make the public feel uneasy to receive the government service.
The CAPO wished reiterated that Mr. Suthep and the PDRC leaders already have been charged with sedition, as well as incitement to breach the law, cause chaos in the country and event obstruction the election and intrusion of government officers. Any government agency which expressed its support to the PDRC's activities considered offense and may be prosecuted in the future.
