The Department of Special Investigation on Thursday said the arrest warrant for fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has remained in effect.

DSI director general Tharith Pengdith said the Democrat Party had no cause to suspect the warrant cancellation.

"The DSI has never initiated or recommend for the lifting of the warrant," he said.

The warrant for the Thaksin's arrest in question is related to terrorism charges in connection with the last year's political disturbances.
