The United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) will hold a mass gathering of the red-shirts in front of Laksi temporary prison on Jan 15, UDD co-leader Jatuporn Prompan said on Friday.

Mr Jatuporn said the rally will call on the government to issue an amnesty decree for political prisoners of all colours, including members of the Anti-Thaksin Pitak Siam group.

The UDD co-leader insisted that the amnesty should not cover UDD co-leaders facing charges of terrorism and former premier and Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva and ex-deputy prime minister Suthep Thuagsuban facing charges of attempted murder relating to the 2010 protests.

What they forgot to add is that this amnesty decree also be used to permit Thaksin back to Thailand? Thaksin considers himself to be victim of political circumstances although his crimes were to abuse his position whilst in power to benefit himself and his family according to all the evidence stacked against him. This is why he is using Abhisit and his deputy leader of the Democratic party and trumping up murder charges against them. It was the hired hands red shirts and men in black who initiated the mass invasion into Bangkok and also the killings. Now they want to blame the democratic party for everything. Ridiculous!

So it will "not cover UDD co-leaders facing charges of terrorism and former premier and Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva and ex-deputy prime minister Suthep Thuagsuban facing charges of attempted murder relating to the 2010 protests". So who is left to be released?
