Announcement of the Council for Democratic Reform
No 25
Re: Proceedings as to criminal justice

Whereas it is appropriate to prescribe a duty for alleged offenders in criminal cases to give their fingerprints when ordered by public officers in the criminal justice process so that the prevention and suppression of violations of law be effective, the Council for Democratic Reform hereby announces as follows:

Persons alleged to have committed criminal offences have the duty to give their fingerprints, handprints, or footprints when ordered by a public prosecutor, police prosecutor, or inquiry officer. Any of them who contravenes this commits an offence relating to justice, for which the punishment shall be imprisonment of not over six months, or a fine of not over one thousand baht, or both the imprisonment and the fine.

This Announcement shall take effect from the day of its publication in the Royal Gazette onwards.

Announced on the 29th day of September 2549 Buddhist Era
General Sonthi Boonyaratglin
Chief of the Council for Democratic Reform
