People's Alliance for Democracy leader Chamlong Srimuang arrested last week on treason charge planned to seek release on bail now that Appeal Court has dropped treason charges on PAD leaders.
Meanwhile police said they will not oppose if two PAD leaders who are arrested decided to seek release on bail.
Chamlong and Chaiwat Sinsuwong have been arrested on treason charges since last week. They earlier refused to apply to be released on bail.
Democrat MP and a PAD leader, Somkiat Pongpaiboon, said that Chamlong decided to seek release on bail after talking with his wife, Siriluck, because the presence of Chamlong in the protest will give moral support to the activities.
Somkiat said Chamlong will rejoin the protesters who have been occupying the Government House as soon as he is freed.
Meanwhile Deputy Police spokesman Surapon Thuanthong said that police will not oppose if the arrested PAD leaders wanted to be free on bail.
The Appeal Court on Thursday ruled in favour of PAD leaders by dropping treason charges against them.
The Court said the support evidence of the treason charges filed by police against nine PAD leaders are vague.
However arrest warrant against them for conspiring with more than 10 people to cause disturbances or physical harms are still intact.
Upon learning the court's decision, Sondhi Limthongkul, a PAD leader, said he and other leaders are ready to surrender to police on the remaining charges. They are willing to fight other charges, except that of treason which they deem unjustified. They will ask for be freed on bail, Sonthi said.
