Leaked Photos Show Detained Red Leaders ‘Relaxing in Seaside Cottage’

(source: here, via this link)

The above photos purportedly show a couple of red leaders, detained and branded as terrorists by the state, looking relaxed and living in reasonably comfortable surroundings a day after they surrendered themselves to the police. They are also seen greeting a group of people,  allegedly well-wishers. Red leaders are said to be detained in the seaside resort town of Hua Hin.

The photos have provoked outcries from those who expected tougher treatment of the red detainees. They also have raised questions. Is this part of some kind of a deal thrashed out beforehand between the reds and the government? Who will take responsibility for putting ‘terrorist’ suspects in such privileged conditions? Does this prove that indeed there are red sympathisers within the police and the military top brass?

Needless to say, this is such an anti-climax.
