There have been several accusations of serving military personnel acting as guards for the anti-democrats. Khaosod has a report that seems to confirm that at least one of Rear Admiral Winai Klom-in’s Royal Thai Navy SEALs is helping the anti-democrats.
The report claims police have arrested active Petty Officer First Class Sompong Thaennark “who served as a security guard for anti-government protests.” When arrested he allegedly had “two Glock handguns, along with … ammunition … an ID card for security teams of the People′s Committee for Absolute Democracy With the King As Head of State (PCAD) and another ID card of the Navy Special Warfare Command…”.
The admiral and navy has “repeatedly denied the allegation that its force is involved in the current anti-government protests in any way.” What will Winai say now?
Update: Khaosod has a new story on this situation that now reports two Navy SEALs apprehended. Both were armed and were guards for the anti-democrats and driving around in a pickup with no license plates. The two claimed to have been “hired to protect PCAD leaders at the rally site near Lumpini Park.”
