Chiang Mai - The Chiang Mai Provincial Court Monday rejected police's request for an arrest warrant against a local red-shirt on ground that police's evidence is too weak.

The court refused to approve the arrest warrant against Phetchawat Watanapongsirikul, a leader of the Chiang Mai Loving 51 Group.

Police want to arrest Phetchawat on charge that he had made death threat against Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva.

But the court reasoned that police could not use only an audio clip of Phetchawat.  The court said police also had to produce a weapon Phetchawat would use to assassinate the prime minister.
