DAAD wants new case against Democrats


A lawyer for the red-shirt Democratic Alliance Against Dictatorship (DAAD) submitted a letter to the Election Commission (EC) yesterday urging the body to pursue a new party dissolution case against the ruling Democrat Party and its executive committee.

The lawyer alleged that many Democrat Party MPs had unlawfully supported the yellow-shirt People's Alliance for Democracy in the illegal attempt to overthrow the Samak Sundaravej and Somchai Wongsawat administrations through the seizure of Suvarnabhumi International Airport and the raid on state-run Channel 11.

 Those MPs included yellow-shirt co-leader Somkiate Pongpaiboon, Kraisak Choonhavan, Sathit Pitutecha and Trairong Suwankiri.

The lawyer, Karom Polthaklang said the petition was being presented so the EC and the courts could consider the dissolution case of the Pheu Thai party - for its involvement in red-shirt protests - in tandem with Democrat Party MPs and the yellow-shirt PAD to bring about fair treatment for both parties.
