The decision emerged from a meeting yesterday morning of key PAD leaders including Pibhop Dhongchai, Suriyasai Katasila, Veera Somkwamkid, Parnthep Pourpongpan and other PAD members to discuss the court's ruling. NCPO spokesman Winthai Suvaree said he was not sure if yesterday's media briefing held by the PAD would risk breaching the ban. Mr Suriyasai said the case has affected hundreds of people, with three deaths and almost 500 injuries, making the participation of their relatives much needed. They feel the fight in the case is not yet over and as stakeholders they must be allowed to exercise their right to seek an appeal, Mr Suriyasai said. We want to set a decent precedent -- a precedent created by people who made sacrifices to fight for the ouster of an illegitimate government," Mr Suriyasai said.
