Excellent finally the people start to fight back they should file charges over every peace of fake news they've released since they took office then they'd be in Court till they die. Also they should go after Anutins yellow shirt Virus doctor chum for fake news about Sinovac. No good of course under the "State Of Emergency" they have immunity from any and all wrong doings. How very convenient.

I am not sure i can agree,this happened under his watch.

Widow Sitirokayah Salaeh visits the cemetery in Tak Bai where her late husband Mahamad Lohbako is buried together with other anti-government demonstrators who died during the 2004 Tak Bai incident, in Narathiwat, Thailand, on Oct 24, 2019.PHOTO: AFP

Lets not forget the military was also involved and as we know they are untouchable so it's not really fair to try and pin this solely on Thaksin he did in fact open an investigation.

On December 17, 2004, a fact-finding committee appointed by the then-government of Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra concluded that the methods used in dispersing the protesters— including firing live ammunition and deploying army conscripts and rangers inexperienced in dispersing protesters—were inappropriate and not in conformity with established international guidelines and practices. The committee also found that commanding officers failed to supervise the transportation of protesters in custody, leaving the task to be performed by inexperienced, low-ranking personnel. The inquiry identified three senior army officers as having failed to properly monitor and supervise the military’s operations, leading to the deaths and injuries of protesters.

How about the corruption conviction?

No not corruption but "Conflict Of Interest" because his wife bought Land at an open an Auction.
Now of course there are other cases against him mostly COI there was a real Witch Hunt after the Coup,

a lot of those giving evidence against him have been REWARDED with important positions in Government.
At least he didn't steel from a Fund for the Desolate and Needy funny we never heard anything else about that since.

Photo of an indoor vaccination center yesterday I should be more worried about that than an outdoor protest.

So if you choose to be irresponsible & selfish to go out and spread Covid19 ............    expect to be locked up. 

Thailand doesn't need large gatherings at this time. 

So exactly how long should they wait to protest?? until the Pandemic is finished?
They are damned if they do and damned if they don't protest.
Had the government shown to be sincere in procurement of vaccines then I could imagine they wouldn't be protesting but they haven't just the opposite. Until today still NOOO Moderna vaccines ordered. AZ vaccine now delayed until May next year probably later considering the leaked letter from AZ that they only agreed to supply Thailand with 3M doses per month. It all seems planned to drag on as long as possible.

They already have the "Fake News Law"

This new Law goes one step further and deems any information which COULD "create fear amongst the public" as illegal.
Even if it's true????
Also the government won't pass the new law Prayut will by Emergency Decree!!

He is head of Chulalongkorn University’s Virology department and making ridiculous claims on the performance of the Sinovac vaccine

so yea he should step down even if to only save the reputation of Thailand's top medical University.
 

Starting to kinda get the feeling they're not in a rush to get rid of the virus.

"opening" Phuket won't make any difference, nobody will come anyway. 

The Chinese will probably come they won't mind wearing those GPS wristband trackers like prisoners they're used to it.
In fact why not put em in Shackles whilst ya at it.
Can't see many Farang digging it though.

Fully agree once the country is fully vaccinated but it hasn't far from it!

They don't care they've all been fully vaccinated and actually need Covid19 to keep "State Of Emergency" in place

to prevent any unwanted street protests at least to the next election.

Security agencies launched the ‘sealing’ operation at construction camps in Bangkok today, essentially preventing any unauthorized persons entering or leaving these workers’ camps, where several new cases of COVID-19 have recently been reported.

Surely this is some kind of violation of human rights they are not prisoners??
Hopefully they don't lock the ones with COVID up inside with them?

Not to say those worker camps are perfect breading grounds for the Virus.

This is the kind of stuff that happens when you put soldiers in charge of a country I'm afraid.

he would do his best to procure COVID-19 vaccines to meet people’s demand

He should have ordered vaccines at the beginning of the year but no they do it in June

Seems to me they want to drag this out as long as possible perhaps to keep SOE in place.

Every Thai can register even Kids but for foreigners it's only over 60!
Don't get me wrong that's a good idea but not only for Foreigners also Thai's otherwise it's discrimination.
