Court finds Samak guilty in libel case

The Bangkok South Criminal Court ruled on Thursday morning that former prime minister Samak Sundaravej and his close friend Dusit Siriwan did indeed defamed former deputy Bangkok governor Samart Rajpolasidhi.


Both defendants were sentenced to two-year jail term without probation, as ruled by the first court’s ruling on April 12, 2007,


The court deemed the actions of Mr Samak and Mr Dusit were libelling Mr Samart, and their clarifications were unsound.


Before the case was filed by Mr Samart, the former premier and his close associate were criticising the accuser on a commercial television.


The court considered their conversation on the ex-Bangkok deputy governor was uncalled for and lacked integrity as media members. The court further ruled that their excuses of having done many good deeds were unreasonable, and since they are individuals with high responsibility, they should now that their comments can affect others considerably.
