(Photo by Kitja Apichonrojarek)The Criminal Court on Saturday approved detention and rejected bail for nine suspects charged with anti-government activities and terrorism linked with hardcore red-shirt fugitive Wuthipong "Kotee" Kochathammakun. It objected to the suspects' temporary release, saying they were prone to violence and use of weapons for anti-government activities. The department alleged that the nine suspects arrested in connection with the weapons seizures were part of Kotee's network. Relatives of two of the suspects requested bail of between 300,000 and 600,000 baht but the court turned it down.
