Marwaan Macan-Markar, president of the Foreign Correspondents Club of Thailand, has denied being forced by the government to withdraw permission for the red shirts to hold a symposium at the clubhouse.

Luksna Kornsilpa has sent a press release plus an article in Thai and English to the press today.  According to the press release, more charges are to be filed against many people including police and state attorney for malfeasance.  Besides Thaksin and his cronies, those who will sign the petition to the King will be charged as well.

For the first time in its five-decade history, the whole board of the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand (FCCT) has been accused of committing lese majeste, a crime with a maximum jail sentence of 15 years.
