  • Redshirt leader given two years in jail for defamation charge


    Redshirt leader Jatuporn Promphan was today sentenced to two years in prison by the Appeals Court after he was found guilty of defaming former prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva in 2009.

    The ruling by the second court today was seen to confirm earlier ruling by the first court that sentenced Jatuporn to two years in jail with no suspended jail sentence for accusing Mr Abhisit of ordering the slaughter of redshirt protesters during the anti-government protest in 2009.

    Jatuporn also accused Abhisit of intercepting the attempt to seek Royal pardon for the fugitive premier Thaksin Shinawatra.

    At the hearing today, the Appeals Court said criticising politician is the legitimate right of critics but it must be based on facts and for the sake of peace and order of the country.

    It then stated it agreed with the first ruling by the Criminal Court to sentence the defendant for two years in prison with no suspended jail sentence.

    Appeal Court upholds jail sentence for Jatuporn

    The Appeal Court on Friday sentenced United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship chairman Jatuporn Prompan to two years imprisonment without suspension for defaming former prime minister Abhsit Vejjajiva in 2009, upholding the Criminal Court's ruling.

    The case was filed by Mr Abhisit, who said Mr Jatuporn in speeches made on a stage at UDD rallies on Oct 11 and 17, 2009, accused him of issuing an order as prime minister for soldiers to kill people and obstructing the filing of a petition to His Majesty the King seeking a royal pardon for former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

    In the lawsuit, Mr Abhisit said Mr Jatuporn's speeches had damaged his reputation.

    The Criminal Court found Mr Jatuporn guilty as charged and sentenced him to two years in prison without suspension.

    Mr Jatuporn appealed.

    The Appeal Court today upheld the lower court's ruling.

    Mr Jatuporn applied for bail, pending and appeal to the Supreme Court.

    In another case, on March 2, the Supreme Court sentenced Mr Jatuporn to six months in jail, suspended for two years, and a 50,000 baht fine.

    Mr Jatuporn said Mr Abhisit filed a total of four defamation cases against him. The two other cases were also being considered by the Supreme Court.

    On a separate issue, Mr Jatuporn said he and other UDD leaders Tida Thawornseth, Weng Tojirakarn and Nattawut Saikuar would on Friday afternoon submit a letter to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha explaining the UDD's opening of a main centre to monitor for possible fraud in the Aug 7 referendum.

    He said the UDD planned to open a similar centre in every province on June 19.

    Mr Jatuporn claimed UDD core members had been intimidated by state officials over this plan.

                        Earlier, at least 12 leaders of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) had been sentenced to imprisonment in separate cases.
                        And from PAD ?
