Appeals Court Sentences Promppong To One-Year Imprisonment For Defaming Former Constitutional Court President

[Flashermac]

The Court of Appeals today sentenced Pheu Thai spokesman Prompong Nopparit to one year in jail without suspension for having defamed former Constitutional Court president Wasant Sroypisut.

 

Earlier, the primary court suspended the one-year jail term for two years.

 

Both the Appeals Court and primary court found Prompong guilty of defaming Wasant related to the Constitutional Court's ruling on the dissolution case against the Democrat Party in 2510. At that time, Wasant was the president of the Constitutional Court.

 

The Appeals Court reasoned that Prompong received a doctorate degree and is a special lecturer at several universities, so he should have behaved himself instead of defaming a judge. Thus the court refused to suspend the jail term.

Abhisit has just reported to the Criminal Court for formal indictment on charges of "murdering" two red shirts who were shot by the Army 3 years ago. We are still waiting to hear from Prompong, who is probably on his way to Dubai by now.
