BANGKOK — The junta has ordered seven of the most prominent pro-democracy activists be charged with crimes including sedition after they launched a protest campaign calling for general elections to be held in November.

 

Col. Burin Thongprapai, acting on behalf of the military junta, filed police complaints Tuesday morning at Bangkok’s Pathumwan Police Station against the seven well-known activists.

I think they are quite afraid of them because they cannot use the usual boggeyman argument against them, and they may well be able to attract part of the Bangkok middle class.

The usual obvious comment made since decades by any autocratic government in the world.....

At least they did not blame it on the bogeyman in Dubai....

Seven DRG activists summoned to acknowledge charges for illegal public gathering

By Thai PBS

Seven activists who gathered at the Pathumwan intersection skywalk on January 27 to protest against the 90-day postponement of next election have been summoned by the police to acknowledge the charges against them.

 

Last week, the National Legislative Assembly overwhelmingly passed the final reading of an amendment to the election bill of Members of the Parliament whichwill make the bill enforcible 90 days after its publication in the Royal Gazette. This will automatically put off the next election by 90 days.

 

Pol Gen Srivara Rangsibrahmanakul, the deputy national police chief, said today that the legal team of the National Council for Peace and Order had lodged a complaint with the police accusing the seven members of the so-called Democratic Rehabilitation Group of defying the NCPO Order Number 3 and Assembly Act by gathering in public of more than five people without prior permission.

"On Monday, an aide to junta deputy Prawit Wongsuwan, said the pro-democracy campaign was orchestrated by foreign powers. Paisal Puechmongkol said on his self-maintained fan page that they the result of “trickery by foreign powers” as in Iran and Hong Kong. He posted his comments along with a photo of an actor portraying an ancient Chinese military strategist."

 

Maybe if I just make stuff up, things will get better. 

 

Not even a shred of evidence to support his wilder than wild claim.   Wonder what sort of medication he is taking. 

 

Isn't their campaign the junta's campaign too.  What is a democratic soldier without a democracy ?  Or perhaps the good general was just talking like this fellow.

This junta is really, really foolish: they are doing everything possible now to store up massive problems for themselves in the future. If you keep on goading and prodding a sleeping bull, it will eventually rise up and fight back. This junta mob have not got the brains of a peanut. They are idiocy incarnate. They are now BEGGING for large-scale trouble ...

So being 'pro democracy' makes one a rebel, seditioner, and probably a high traitor that needs to be punished while being pro 'junta democracy' makes you a well nurtured and brainwashed useful citizen.

Solon, Kleisthenes, Gandhi, Danton, Che Guevara, and many others turn in their graves.
