The Criminal Court has postponed to Dec 15 the examination of evidence in the case against 96 People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) members indicted on various charges relating to the seizure of Don Mueang and Suvarnabhumi airports in 2008.
The court initially set today, May 26, for examination of evidence in the case in which the 96 defendants have been indicted on terrorism and other charges related to the airports' seizue.
Defence lawyers asked the court to postpone the hearing because many of the defendants were not able to appear before the court.
Some of them had been detained by the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), some taken by the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) to report to prosecutors, some were summoned to report to the NCPO, and others including Maj-Gen Chamlong Srimuang were sick.
The court examined the request and decided to postpone the hearing to Dec 15 at 10am.
