A lawyer for fugitive ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra put in a petition yesterday asking the Attorney General to ensure fair treatment for him in connection with the case about his alleged support of terrorist acts and unrest.
The lawyer said the charge by the Department of Special Investigation against Thaksin was unfair, as it appeared they had intended to take legal action against him in connection with the political unrest.
Thanadej said Thaksin was not a leader of the red-shirt protests - he simply made phone calls to offer moral support to the protesters and their leaders, with no intention of inciting unrest.
