Court to consider Thaksin's suit on Finland Declaration

The Criminal Court accepted on Thursday a criminal libel case from deposed premier Thaksin Shinawatra filed in June 2006 in relation to public comments about the socalled "Finland Declaration".



His opponents named in the suit had alleged Thaksin and his close aides had examined ways of holding on to power in a plot deemed offensive to the monarchy.

Thaksin named 10 individuals as having defamed him. Key defendants include anti-Thaksin campaigner Sondhi Limthongkul, Chirmsak Pinthong, Chaianan Samudvanija and Pramote Nakornthap.

The first hearing will be held on December 11.
