At last, after getting on for three years, the Criminal Court acquitted five defendants of, using Thai PBS’s words, “resorting to violence to block the motorcade of Her Majesty the Queen during an anti-government protest in 2020.” The five defendants were Akechai Hongkangwarn, Bunkueanun Paothong, Suranath Paenprasertand two others. There was never a case in these events, but on 14 October 2020, the first day of anti-government protests organised by the Khana Ratsadon 2563 group, a royal vehicle managed to get off course and travel through the protest site. Even so, the police charged five of the protesters “with violating Section 110 of the Criminal Code, by allegedly resorting to violence against the Queen’s liberty, a serious offence subject to life imprisonment or imprisonment from 16-20 years if convicted.” It can also result in the death penalty. The court ruled that, “[b]ased on the evidence presented during the trial, … they did not commit the offence, as charged by the police, and that the police had not notified the protesters in advance that a Royal motorcade would pass along the road, on which the protesters were marching towards Government House from the Democracy monument.” In addition it ruled that “there were many crowd control police and protesters on the route, rendering impossible for the defendants to see the arrival of Royal motorcade or what was happening on the other side of the road.”This is essentially what the protesters had always said. At last, some justice.
