The indictment, during a closed court session, comes at a time when Bangkok has been shaken by a new round of destabilizing protests. These are led by allies of Abhisit, who is now leader of the opposition Democrat Party.Bandit Siripan, the lawyer for Abhisit, told CNN that the former premier denied the murder charges against him and was freed after posting bail of 1.8 million baht (US$56,000)."The pre-trial hearing is expected on March 24 next year," the lawyer said.READ: Thai PM dissolves parliamentIn the latest round of tensions, Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra dissolved the nation's parliament on Monday and called for new elections.However, the move has done little to appease anti-government protesters who remain on the streets.READ: Thailand's 'up country' boom fuels political divide0Comments »SHARE THISPrintEmailMore sharingRedditStumbleUponDelicious/* push in config for this share instance */cnn_shareconfig.push({"id" : "cnn_sharebar2","url" : "http://www.cnn.com/2013/12/12/world/asia/thailand-murder-charges/index.html","title" : "Former Thai PM indicted on murder charges"});
