Nattawut mulling to contest Bangkok byelection: Jatuporn

Red-shirt leader and terrorism suspect Nattawut Saikua may decide to contest the byelection for Bangkok Constituency 6, scheduled for July 25, Pheu Thai MP Jatuporn Promphan said on Friday.
"Following the check on Nattawut's qualifications, a petition will be lodged to seek the judicial permission to take him out of his remand cell to register for his candidacy," Jatuporn said.
He said Nattawut had a good chance for victory just like the case in Northern Ireland where Irish dissident Bobby Sands campaigned and won from his prison cell.
