(Photo by Pornprom Satrabhaya)Attorney-General Kemchai Chutiwong has postponed to April 26 the indictment decision in the case in which the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) accused three key members of the Future Forward Party of computer crime for their live Facebook criticism against it. Krisdang Nootjaras, lawyer of Future Forward Party (FFP) leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, said this week he would introduce more witnesses, including a journalist and an academic. Mr Thanathorn, FFP registrar Klaikong Waithayakan and party executive member Jaruwan Saranket, were accused of putting false information into a computer system. At the time, politicians with a strong chance of election were reportedly planning to eventually defect to the pro-regime Palang Pracharath Party.
