webfact Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 Freed On Bail, Buddha Issara Checks Into Hospital By Jintamas Saksornchai, Staff Reporter Suwit Thongprasert, or Buddha Issara, at the Criminal Court on May 24. BANGKOK — A former monk accused of forging royal seals on his merchandise failed to appear for a court hearing Thursday on another set of charges related to the assault of police officers when he commanded anti-government street protests four years ago. Suwit Thongprasert, better known as Buddha Issara, informed the court through his lawyer that he went to the hospital following his release from the Bangkok Remand Prison last night, where he was met by about 50 waiting supporters. The Criminal Court today agreed to reschedule the hearing for early October after his lawyer submitted documentation that he was hospitalized for a herniated disc that might require surgery.

Eligius Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 It's almost reaching the point in Thailand now where it is pointless commenting on Thai politics and Thai 'justice' any longer: it is all a glaring farce, a lie, an intelligence-insult - and as corrupt as any devilish mind could ever concoct. Poor, poor Thailand - a scenically gorgeous land, blessed with rich fruits and vegetables and often friendly, helpful people - blighted to the core by a thoroughly rotten system of politics, hierarchy, and anti-justice. Poor, poor Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
