BANGKOKthe 2010 unrest in which defendants were promptly freed upon acquittal.
He said he would try to secure bail for them as he could find bond money. The prosecutor had not filed any appeal as of Tuesday afternoon, Winyat added.
Torture Claim
Police announced the arrests in September 2014 after all five suspects spent a week in secret military detention.
Somyot Pumpanmuang, the national police chief at the time, said they were the black-clad militants who fired assault rifles and grenades at soldiers during an operation to clear anti-government demonstrators from Ratchadamnoen Avenue on the night of April 10, 2010. The protesters demanded then-PM Abhisit Vejjajiva step down and fresh elections.
The government eventually called off the crackdown. The violence that night claimed 27 lives. Five were soldiers, including the colonel in charge of the operation. The street protest itself came to an end a month later when it was crushed by another military operation.
All five suspects had been remanded in prison since their arrests. They initially confessed to the crimes but later withdrew their confessions; their lawyer said all were tortured
