The Criminal Court postponed on Monday until November 15 for an initial hearing of a case against the prime minister filed by Suthachai Yimprasert, a pro-red shirt lecturer at Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Arts.
He accused Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban, and Centre for the Resolution of Emergency Situation spokesman Colonel Sansern Kaewkamnerd of malfeasance and libel for producing and distributing to the media a diagram in which Suthachai is described as being part of a network of people allegedly planning to overthrow the monarchy.
The court postponed the hearing because Sansern had not received a summons for the hearing and he had not appointed any public prosecutor to represent him in the case.
