National police chief asked to intervene to cancel terrorism charge for Kasit

Kasit reported for questioning last week related to his involvement in the Suvarnabhumi Airport seizure in December. He denied all charges filed by police and promised to submit his statement in writing within 30 days.

His defence lawyer Nitithorn Lamlua said the petition for a review of charges was an additional step to ensure justice for his client.

"From my examination of the police work, Kasit has been unfairly charged, the police re-enactment of the airport seizure is lopsided and biased and there is no evidence how the socalled international terrorism took place," he said.

He said the investigators seemed to have fabricated the terrorism offence without any evidence to back up.

If the airport seizure were to be classified as international terrorism, then the investigators should be able to explain who were in the terrorist cell, what was Kasit's role, who was his controller and where was the meeting to hatch the terror attack, he said.
