Just look how fast the judiciary can work when it puts away red shirts!
The Bangkok Post (3 June 2010) reports that two “radio show hosts of a community radio in the northeastern province of Udon Thani were on Thursday sentenced to one year and six months jail term without suspension in connection with the arson attacks on the city hall and the municipality office building on May 19.”
Prasit Wichairat and Jakrapong Saenkham from 97.5 FM community radio “surrendered to police on June 2.” What? That’s yesterday!
In less than 24 hours, the Udon Thani District Court has “found the two guilty of violating the emergency decree by urging the people through their radio programmes to stage an uprisin[g], leading to the torching of the city hall and municipality office building on May 19 in violation of the emergency decree.”
It would be hard to imagine how justice is served by such swift decision-making; another example of double standards.
