Thailand's Criminal Court on April 11 approved an arrest warrant against Wuthipong Kochathamkhun, a leader of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD), or “red shirts”, for an alleged lese-majeste offense.
The approval came after the Thai Crime Suppression Division submitted a petition that accused Wuthipong, also known as Ko Tee, of committing lese-majeste by making remarks considered insulting the monarchy during an interview with foreign press.
The whereabouts of Wuthipong, who is the red-shirt leader in central Pathum Thani province, remains unknown and a hunt for him has begun.
