Reading out the group’s statement, Mr Panthep said former key PAD figures, victims of the crackdown and their relatives respected the court's judgement, but disagreed with it. The ruling overlooked various facts, and an appeal should be made to the full bench of the Supreme Court. If the victims were not allowed justice through pursuing the appeal, the PAD would use every legal channel to ensure justice was obtained, he said. Mr Veera and allies would petition the NACC to appeal the case on Monday, Mr Panthep said. The demonstrators intended to prevent Mr Somchai from delivering his policy announcement after he succeeded Samak Sundaravej, who was forced to resign the premiership.
