"Police on Wednesday extended the deadline of summonses for yellow shirts to hand themselves over and face terrorism charge from today to August 26.
The deadline extension was the outcome of a meeting between defence lawyer Nitithorn Lamlua and assistant national police chief Lt General Somyos Phumphanmuang, the lead investigator on the case.

Nitithorn petitioned for the extension on the ground of time constraints as police have summoned 79 yellow shirts as suspects while the defence has only two lawyers to handle the case. Somyos said police stood ready to take their statements should certain yellow-shirt suspects decide to report themselves before the new deadline.

In regard to the summonses, police will issue a second batch of summonses for reason on legal technicality even though it is a mutual agreement that the suspect would surrender in a month, he said."

It seems clear to me that the end game here is to delay PAD prosecutions long enough so that some type of general amnesty can be passed that gets all the PAD people off the hook but keeps the red shirt leaders in jail.
