Yellow-shirt activists went to the Criminal Court on Monday morning and filed a suit against Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and three other ministers, accusing them of causing Thailand a loss of sovereignty, People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) spokesman Panthep Puapongpan said.
Mr Panthep said the lawsuit filed by Samdin Lertbutr and Tainae Mungmajon, representatives of the PAD, accused the prime minister, his deputy Suthep Thaugsuban, Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya and Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwon of violating Articles 119 and 120 of the Criminal Code, for which the maximum penalty is capital punishment.
The spokesman said the four cabinet ministers were responsible for protecting Thailand’s sovereignty, but the country had lost some sovereignty to Cambodia.
Mr Samdin and Mr Tainae are two of the seven Thais arrested for illegally entering Cambodia on Dec 29 last year. They were subsequently sentenced to nine months in jail and then released and allowed to return to Thailand.
