The Ministry of Justice says the call by Amnesty International for Thailand to lift death penalty and execution needs a public hearing to hear views from all relevant individuals and agencies.

 

The statement by the ministry’s permanent-secretary Visit Visitsora-at came after the Amnesty International resubmitted its call citing that the country now has a new constitution in place.

 

He said Article 77 of the Constitution states clearly of a public hearing in case of making any change in the law.

Amnesty are a right pain getting involved in stuff sometimes. I truly believe in the death penalty for some crimes, some sickos in this world should just be put out of their misery. The guy that murdered Lee Rigby in the street for instance would get a straight to the gas chamber form me.

Ask the Buddha. Ask the millions of Thai Buddhists, if they are ready to follow

the Teaching of the Buddha.

Death penalty or life imprisonment makes no difference. It's all written in the star. You will murder your father and marry your mother.

A 15 year girl gave birth to a boy too poor to raise the boy gave him up for adoption boy was adopted by farang couple in Cambodia. 20 years later boy killed his father in hunting accident and married his mother.

The Gods have decided your destiny not death penalty imposed by the government.
