Suthep calls on opposition to join charter amendment efforts


Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban Monday called on the opposition to rejoin the efforts to amend the Constitution, instead of calling for reinstatement of the 1997 charter.
Suthep said that it was impossible that Thaksin would be allowed to go free in spite of the jail sentence against him.
"It would be unacceptable to the public for [former PM] Thaksin [Shinwatra] not to serve his jail term and have his confiscated assets returned. If Thaksin doesn't want to follow the Thai law and stay above the law while other Thais have to abide by it, it's better for him to stay abroad," Suthep said.
