People's Alliance for Democracy leader Sondhi Limthongkul on Thursday reported himself at the Crime Suppression Division to fight charges related to the airport seizure in 2008 by the yellow shirts.
"I come today to give my statement to police as I have been charged for terrorism and myriad offences - this is going to be a long story," he said upon arriving at the CSD.
Sondhi said he suspected police trying to throw frame-up charges at him and the yellow shirts. He vowed to fight by filing counter lawsuits against police to the full extent of the law.
Metropolitan Police deputy commissioner Maj General Amnuay Nimmano once tried to charge him for treason, but the court already ruled the charge groundless, he said, adding he was seeking the inquiry into Amnuay's abuse of power.
The petition against Amnuay was lodged with the National Anti Corruption Commission, he said.
In regard to the defence strategy, he said some yellow shirts, wanted by police, would hand themselves over while the others would refuse to report to police.
For those acting in defiance of the police summonses, this is to test whether the courts would agree to approve the warrants of arrest because it appears police have named the suspects at their whims and not evidence, he said.
The police named 13 yellow shirts for terrorism charge but summoned a larger number of suspects for questioning on frivolous offences, he said.
PAD co-leader Chamlong Srimuang too showed up to report to police. He did not talk with reporters.
