Thai Politics: Kasit not among 21 PAD leaders to face arrest warrants

Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya will not face an arrest warrant in the case related to the besieging of Parliament on October 7, deputy metropolitan police chief Pol Maj-Gen Amnuay Nimmano said Thursday.



Amnuay said the investigative team had finished reviewing the case and had sent it for a review by the Royal Thai Police.

He said Kasit was not involved in the besieging of the Parliament so police would not seek an arrest warrant against him in the case.

But the 21 others would face an arrest for inciting violence and leading the people to block MPs and senators from entering and leaving Parliament.

Amnuay said investigators had not yet finished investigations of the cases of the Government House and airport seizures.
