Leaders and supporters of the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) charged by police in connection with the blockade of Don Mueang and Suvarnabhumi airports in 2008 reported to the Crime Suppression Division on Tuesday.
CSD investigators have decided to recommend indictment of 114 PAD suspects on charges of illegal assembly for the seizure of the two airports.
Some of the suspects, mostly leading PAD figures, are additionally charged with terrorism under Articles 113 and 116 of the Criminal Code.
Of the 114, some had earlier reported to the CSD, leaving 83 to do likewise today.
As of about 12pm, 27 of them had reported to the CSD. They included such leading figures as Maj-Gen Chamlong Srimuang, Somsak Kosaisuk, Pibhop Dhongchai, Somkiat Pongpaiboon, Saranyoo Wongkrachang, Sarocha Porn-udomsak, Anchalee Paireerak, Prapan Khoonmee, Panthep Pongpuapan and Jindarat Charoenchaichana.
Of the PAD leaders summonsed, four of them sought to postpone reporting to the CSD. They included Sondhi Limthongkul, who went to the Chachoengsao Court, Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya, who was still abroad, and Pol Lt-Col Santhana Prayoonrat.
Those who already reported to the CSD were subsequently handed over to Wichian Thanompichai, chief of the prosecutors handling the case.
Mr Wichian said the suspects had been told to return on June 9 when the prosecutors would decide who among them are to be indicted and on what charges.
