300 protesters demand DSI purge

The June 24 Democracy Group on Thursday led some 300 anti-coup activists and red shirts to rally demanding a purge at the Department of Special Investigation.
Protesters wanted DSI director general Tharit Pengdit to step down and the department freed from the political dominance.
Rally organiser Songchai Wimolpatranont circulated an open letter addressing to the next government in calling for the restructure of DSI.
Sonchai said Tharit was impartial in his job and that the DSI had been used as the tool for intimidation by gagging the government's opponents with false charge for lese majeste
Next week the DSI is scheduled to summon 17 red-shirt leaders for formal indictments on offending the monarchy and sedition.
