Thai Opposition Files Complaint Against Foreign Minister, Prime Minister’s Aide Over Leaked Document

BANGKOK, Dec 28 (NNN-TNA) — Thailand's Opposition Puea Thai Party (PTP) plans to file complaints with the Office of the National Counter Corruption Commission (NCCC) against Foreign Affairs Minister Kasit Piromya and Panithan Wattanayakorn, deputy secretary-general to the prime minister, for malfeasance over the leaked classified document concerning Thai-Cambodian relations, a party spokesman said Sunday.
Spokesman Prompong Nopparit said he and a party legal expert would file complaints with the NCCC this week urging the state agency to probe the two government figures for malfeasance under Criminal Law Article 157 after both admitted that the document, prepared by the foreign affairs ministry for Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, was authentic.
The document was made public by Jatuporn Prompan, a key leader of the anti-government United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD).
