"The most-watched censure debate grilling of the government came from no less than Pheu Thai MP and key red-shirt leader Jatuporn, who will soon be detained by police after his parliamentary immunity expires today and Parliament is off session.

Very late on Monday night and in the early minutes of Tuesday, Jatuporn used his gifted oratory skill, so familiar to red-shirt followers, once again. He accused the government of being behind the burning of CentralWorld, the killing of protesters, including the six at Wat Pathum Wanaram, in order to justify terrorism charges and blame red-shirt leaders.

"Do we really have to reconcile with cruel murderers who are responsible for 89 deaths? ... How long can you hold guns and keep other people's heads down? ... You talk about reconciliation but your heart is like [a knife] slitting others' throats ... If we had lots of weapons, why did 88 people [mostly civilians] die? ... For one loss of innocent life many would join the movement ... If people are hired [to fight] would they rather not flee after the first death? ... The most shameful media is [state-controlled] Channel 11. It lies to the people � now the red-shirt media have been shut so people can be fed with one-sided information," Jatuporn said.

Suthep earlier told the House that most of the people killed had criminal records.Jatuporn replied that even if that was true, they did not deserve to be shot to death and urged the government to see those on the opposite political camp "as human beings".

Jatuporn, one of the three most charismatic leaders of the red-shirt movement, faces multiple charges, including terrorism.He knows his days of freedom are numbered and he'll probably be arrested later today. But, he said, the length of his "remaining freedom is not important". He wanted to "seek justice for those who have been killed".
