SUBJECT: THAILAND OCTOBER 10: COURTS ACTIVE, STREETS QUIET, 
ANTICIPATING OCTOBER 13 RALLY 
 
REF: BANGKOK 3059 
 
1. (SBU) Summary: The streets of Bangkok stayed quiet October 
10 for the third day after the October 7 violence.  As on 
October 9 (reftel), the primary action occurred in the Thai 
courts, with seven remaining Peoples' Alliance for Democracy 
(PAD) leaders turning themselves in to police authorities, 
and the Thai Attorney General forwarding the ruling Peoples' 
Power Party (PPP) dissolution case to the Constitutional 
Court for consideration.  Expectations are for a quiet 
weekend, looking ahead to October 13, when PAD leaders have 
called for a large rally at National Police Headquarters. 
Embassy has issued a Consular Warden message warning Amcits 
to stay away from the expected rally area.  End Summary. 
 
Action in the Courts: PAD, PPP 
------------------------------ 
 
2. (U) The seven PAD leaders who had not been arrested turned 
themselves in to police at the Nang Loeng station at 10 am 
October 10, in the wake of the Appeals Court's October 9 
decision to drop the most serious treason/ insurrection 
charges (reftel).  The seven are: Sondhi Limthongkul (the 
leading PAD figure along with MGEN Chamlong); Somkiat 
Phongpaiboon (also a Democrat Party MP); Phiphop Thongchai; 
Somsak Kosaisuk; Suriyasai Kataila (PAD lead coordinator); 
Thoetphum Chaidi; and Amon Amonrattananon (seen as the leader 
of the August 26 PAD assault on the NBT TV station).  Three 
senators used their status as guarantors, along with MP 
Somkiat, for the posting of bail; the police approved the 
bail request in short order and ordered the PAD leaders to 
report again October 24. 
 
3. (SBU) Separately on October 10, the Attorney General's 
office filed a party dissolution lawsuit against the PPP with 
the Constitutional Court.  The PPP lawsuit joins previously 
filed lawsuits against Chat Thai and Mattchima, both 
coalition parties.  Most commentators expect it will take 
several months for the Constitutional Court to hold hearings 
and consider the material in the three cases.  The formal 
lodging of the PPP dissolution lawsuit will add to public 
impressions that the current Somchai administration will be a 
short-lived one. 
 
Anticipating an October 13 rally against the police 
--------------------------------------------- ------ 
 
4. (SBU) Attention now shifts forward, to Monday October 13. 
PAD leader Phiphop confirmed to us that the PAD are summoning 
supporters to rally at the National Stadium around 0900 to 
march to the Police Department on Rama I Rd. The  rally at 
National Police Headquarters will protest the October 7 use 
of force and the resulting injuries/deaths.  (Note: As of 
early October 10, 29 individuals, including one policeman, 
remain hospitalized in four hospitals.  Two civilians remain 
in critical condition, including one PAD supporter with 
extensive head injuries whom doctors give only a five percent 
chance of recovery). 
 
5. (SBU)  PAD feels buoyed by an Administrative Court ruling 
late October 9 ordering the police to follow international 
protocols in limiting the use of force to disperse crowds, 
starting with softer methods of crowd control.  Despite 
evidence that PAD supporters also used weapons and initiated 
clashes later on October 7, public sentiment continues to run 
strongly against the police, who traditionally have garnered 
the lowest trust ratings of any public institution in Thai 
opinion polls.  The repeated use of "Black October" in media 
coverage, and the focus on images of the police action 
against PAD protesters early on the morning of October 7, is 
a conscious evocation of October 14, 1973 and October 6, 1976 
when security forces bloodily suppressed pro-democracy 
demonstrators in the streets of Bangkok.  Those dates are 
touchstone incidents in modern Thai history, and lumping this 
week's events under the "Black October" rubric is powerful 
even though the circumstances of this October's events are 
very different. Septel explores media coverage and public 
sentiment in greater detail.

6. (SBU)  Because of the potential for renewed clashes during 
the October 13 rally, Embassy has issued a Consular Warden 
message warning Amcits to stay away from the expected rally 
area.
