CrazyExpat Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Thailand's Centre for the Administration of Peace and Order (CAPO) has vowed to use police force to arrest 14 core members of the anti-government People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC), including protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban, media reported on Monday. CAPO secretary Tarit Pengdith announced the operation on Sunday following the Office of the Attorney-General's (OAG) decision on Thursday to indict 51 PDRC members, including 14 core leaders who already face arrest warrants for treason, the Bangkok Post reported. The court on Monday will hear the OAG's request to indict the 51 PDRC members, after which arrest warrants will be issued. Pengdith said police would not disperse the protestors but would target the leaders instead. The Arintharat Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) unit will assist the arrest operations. Pengdith also said that the 14 protest leaders are being guarded by PDRC security forces, so CAPO would break its operation into 14 sub-operations to arrest the suspects. http://www.ianslive.in/index.php?param=news/Thailand_vows_to_arrest_14_core_protest_leaders-422762/INTERNATIONAL/13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
