Fugitive Thaksin gets to sue
The Criminal Court yesterday accepted a criminal libel case from deposed premier Thaksin Shinawatra filed in June 2006 in relation to public comments about the so-called "Finland Declaration".
Published on September 21, 2007
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, Chai-anan Samudvanija and Pramote Nakornthap. The first hearing will be held on December 11.
