update : they try to start arrest tonight, as when no security guard around the leader.
The Criminal Court endorsed the issuance of arrest warrants against 30 core members of the People’s Democratic Reform Committee and the Network of Students and People for the Reform of Thailand.
The court however dismissed the Department of Special Investigation’s request for the arrest warrants of 13 other core members on the ground that they have already been indicted and are currently freed on bail.
Facing the arrest are Sathit Wongnongtoei, Chumpol Julasai, Putthipong Punnakan, Issara Somchai, Witthaya Kaewparadai, Thavorn Senniam, Natthapol Teepsuwan, Aekkanat Promphan, Nitithorn Lumlua, Uthai Yodmanee, General Preecha Iamsuwan, Yossak Kosaikanont, Pol Lt-Col Supawat Supiyapanich, Ms Chitpas Kridagara, Sombat Thamrongtunyawong, Chermsak Pinthong, Seri Wongmontha, Kittisak Prokkati, Thanom Onkatepol, Buddha Isara, Satish Segal, Komsan Thongsiri, Munman Kakandee, Prakobkit Inthong, Nasser Yeema, Pansuwan Na Kaew, Mrs Rangsima Rodrasamee, Mrs Taya Teepsuwan, Air Marshal Watchara Ruetthakanee and Admiral Aekachai Suwanparb.
The court however warned the police and DSI that they were empowered to detain the 30 suspects for a period deemed necessary to indict them in the court.
Earlier, DSI chief Tarit Pengdit said that the Arintharat special police force and police paratroopers would be deployed to arrest the protest leaders once the court endorsed their arrest warrants.
