Media shown red leaders' detention centre
By The Nation
Published on May 24, 2010
Heated criticism about reports alleging that police had detained redshirt leaders as a group in a comfortable seafront home led to a media tour yesterday of a police barracks in Phetchaburi to show that the suspects were separated in individual rooms.
At 00.30 am, the eight core leaders were seen in bed sleeping in front of cameras or glancing at reporters without saying a word, under an agreement that they would not talk to the media, who were also not allowed to ask them questions.
The media tour was organised following the circulation of a number of police photos showing the red leaders sitting on a bed in an attempt to explain that they were in separate rooms. But comments on many weblogs raised suspicion because all beds the suspects sat on were all remarkably similar with rust scars and stickers in the same position. Police have yet to respond to those doubts.
Major General Thep Amornsophit, commander of the Rama VI Border Patrol Police barracks, said the "beach party" photos were taken when the redshirt leaders had just arrived at the Phetchaburi centre.
"The suspects are detained under normal standards and receive no privileges. The media tour was arranged to see the conditions they are actually under," he said.
Four other red leaders were being detained in the barracks, but were at another location, which was not visited by the media.
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, speaking in his weekly television address yesterday morning, said he had ordered an inquiry into the "beachside party" and photos. But he said the suspects had not fully undergone the prosecution procedure and were not required to be detained in a prison or kept in prisonlike cells.
"The DSI will fully take over the cases from police when it can gather sufficient evidence and indict them as criminal suspects," he explained.
Democrat MP Boonyod Sukthinthai called on the government to instruct the military to take over detention of the redshirt leaders from police. "The beach party photo has trampled on the feeling of the people too heavily," he said.
The New Politics Party urged the government to speed up legal action against the redshirt leaders for riots and setting buildings ablaze. Party spokesman Samran Rodphet said the reds were still active and would be active again after the state of emergency was lifted, with the intent to create a new Thai state.
