Three red shirt leaders freed for health reasons

Three Democracy Against Dictatorship, or red shirt, leaders Weng Tojirakarn, Pichet Sukchindathong and Veerakarn Musikapong were released from the Thai Department of Corrections Hospital due to old age and on health grounds.

The three had been charged with gathering in a group of more than 10 people and physical assault resulting in public unrest after they participated in a violent protest outside the home of the late Privy Council president Prem Tinsulanonda in 2007.
