Leaders of the People's Alliance for Democracy are vowing to sue Prime Minister Abhisit and police for incriminating them on terrorism and criminal charges over their blockades of Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports last year.
The 36 core members of People's Alliance for Democracy or PAD and key supporters have faced criminal and terrorism charges for occupying the two Bangkok airports from November 25th to December 2nd last year in an attempt to overthrow the Somchai Wongsawat government.
Somsak Kosaisuk a PAD key leader and New Polictics Party leader said the accused members believe the charges are groundless and said the gathering at the two airports caused no damage to aviation and was within the scope of constitution. Somsak added that he and other accused PAD members will deny all of the charges against them when they report to police on July 16th. He also added that he and the members are ready to fight against all charges and will not escape abroad.
Meanwwhile, another core PAD leader Major General Chamlong Srimuang has insisted that he and his colleagues are not worried about the charges, because they are false allegations.
Chamlong noted that he believes the charges are exaggerated and disproportionate for actions for ordinary citizens. Thus, he and the accused members will file criminal charges against the investigating police and MPs for malfeasance and false incrimination.
He added that the Prime Minister is included because he allowed the police to proceed with the actions.
