The lawyer of Jatuporn Prompan has asked the Criminal Court to clarify its decision to bar the opposition MP from involvement in political rallies as a condition for his release on bail.
The Puea Thai Party list MP is among 19 core leaders of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) facing terrorism charges.
Mr Jatuporn has been released on bail on the understanding that he must not get involved in political rallies or activities involving five or more people, or activities that could obstruct investigators or damage their case or court procedures.
He must not disseminate information that could cause damage to people. He is allowed to speak on issues relating to the charges only as an MP during a parliamentary meeting.
His lawyer, Karom Polthaklang, argued yesterday that the bail conditions interfered with Mr Jatuporn’s rights, liberty and freedom. He has lodged a complaint with the court.
Mr Karom said Mr Jatuporn was asking the court to clarify the conditions it had set so he could follow them more carefully.
Another member of the UDD, Voravut Vichaidit, yesterday petitioned Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to take legal action against Privy Council president Prem Tinsulanonda, privy councillor Siddhi Savetsila and former prime minister Anand Panyarachun for allegedly committing lese majeste.
Mr Voravut said the three had offended the heir to the throne in conversations with Eric John, the former US ambassador to Thailand. He referred to their conversations recorded in a classified US cable released by WikiLeaks.
