Six anti-coup leaders freed on bail
Six detained leaders of the Democratic Alliance Against Dictatorship are released on bail on Monday at 5 pm on a condition ordered by the Criminal Court that they will not lead any rallies or cause trouble concerning the national security.
The six leaders are Veera Musigapong, Jatuporn Phromphan, Jakrapob Penkair, Natthawut Saikua, Wiputalaeng Patanapumithai and Apiwan Wiriyachai.
The Monday release meant all nine DADD leaders were out of jail.
On August 2, the Criminal Court freed on bail Weng Tojirakarn and Manit Jitchanklab on bail after each deposited Bt200,000 as guarantee.\
The DAAD leaders decided that as a former judge, Manit could use his experience to look into the details of the charge. Weng would take a responsibility for collecting all facts in the incident.
National Human Rights commissioner Jaran Ditha-apichai was released on bail a few days earlier.
Nine DAAD leaders were arrested for their alleged connection with clashes in front of Privy Council president Prem Tinsulanonda's residence on July 22.
