People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) prominent figure Sondhi Limthongkul (pictured in middle) was indicted on a lese majeste charge filed by public prosecutors on Monday morning at the Criminal Court.

The yellow-shirt leader was accused of violating Article 112 of the Criminal Code by quoting red-shirt United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) member Daranee Charnchoengsilapakul's defamatory statement at a PAD rally on July 20, 2008.

Ms Daranee, also known as Da Torpedo, made the statement at a red-shirt gathering in Sanam Luang on June 7, 2008.

The Ratchada court will examine the former New Politics Party leader's submission on Aug 16. The hearing is scheduled for 1.30pm.

If Mr Sondhi is found guilty, he could face up to 15 years in prison.
