Mentors Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 A lawyer for the anti-government United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) on Monday filed a libel complaint with the police against Privy Council president and Statesman Gen Prem Tinsulanonda for his comments about former prime minister Chavalit Yongchaiyudh joining the Puea Thai Party. Gen Prem earlier warned Gen Chavalit, whom he referred to as a friend, to think carefully before joining the opposition party as some people could see it as a betrayal of the country. Red-shirt lawyer Karom Talaklang said the UDD planned legal action against Gen Prem for defaming the Puea Thai Party and senior member Gen Chavalit under sections 326 and 328 of the Penal Code. Gen Prem also violated the Article 14 of the 2007 constitution by not being impartial towards political parties, Mr Karom alleged. http://www.bangkokpost.com/breakingnews/157519/udd-takes-legal-action-against-prem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
