Military junta warns pro-election group against political rally

 

 

The National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) today (March 24) warned pro-election activists against breaching the law as the group held political activities at Thammasat University’s football field this evening.

 

NCPO spokesman Maj Gen Piyapong Klinphan said any movement by the group must not infringe on the rights and freedom of others.

 

They must not violate the orders of the NCPO or other relevant laws, he said in referring to the political gathering at TU to call for election this year in its effort to stop the military junta from ongoing clinging to power.

We are the only ones who can continue to have political rallies.

Allowing the also rans to do so would jeopardize our leaders position to carry on Putin /XiJinping style forever.

"NCPO spokesman Maj Gen Piyapong Klinphan said any movement by the group must not infringe on the rights and freedom of others."

I am afraid this is going to get nasty.....

what drivel; these guys are embarassing

"NCPO spokesman Maj Gen Piyapong Klinphan said any movement by the group must not infringe on the rights and freedom of others". Surreal! 

They forget to mention 'the law' they are talking about is just a tool of their own making and couldn't exist in a country with decent rule.

Makes me want to vomit...

General Whatever seems to forget the the NCPO are behind the following infringements...

No Free Speech

No Right to Assembly

No Elections

Section 112.....(Used a lot more under the present regime than ever before)

 

This country is full of clowns and to few circuses....so they end up in politics instead...

Balls to you mr  ncpo!!

I do like the Pinocchio mask, very realistic, nose could be longer though,  about 4  years  longer

TU is probably be one of the few unis to have the guts to do anything......no other groups have the drive any longer.

Hope the military keep their guns empty.....but they do have a penchance for their own people!

The Thais are sick of the endless cycle of coups and military leaders that think they know what's best without giving the population any say.

 

Where are the resident coup cheerleaders on this thread? Surprised they still have the audacity to appear now and again with their "but, but Thaksin" whataboutery. Rubes.

I think they know that a comeback is on the cards. Even after all these years of exile he still is popular.

 

Here he is 4 days ago in UAE with Yingluck and 11 hours ago with his daughter Ing.

They are not planning a coup,- are they?

If the Prime Minister says that elections are in February next year then why his he so concerned

about other parties getting ready for the elections

 

My guess is there will not be an election next year  Just guessing here nothing more

Indeed, it should be a national duty for Thais to breach these so-called laws against public assembly and freedom of expression.

'NCPO spokesman Maj Gen Piyapong Klinphan said any movement by the group must not infringe on the rights and freedom of others.' I would love to see an in depth explanation of this statement such as 'what rights', 'what freedom', 'what others' are you referring to? And if, in your opinion Maj. General, they do please explain what you will do? Would be nice to know.

Thank you, Stephen. Exactly what I keep saying:

If the Thais stood up in their MILLIONS and engaged in civil disobedience towards wholly and utterly fake and illegitimate laws  - the junta would be powerless to put that genie of the liberated People back into the dark bottle of Repression and Oppression.

 

But the Thais have overwhelmingly made the decision (willingly or reluctantly) to go along unresistingly with all that is being flung at them, at their rights and their liberties, day in and day out.

 

There is a saying in English: 'You have made your bed - now lie on it ...'

 

There is also another, even more famous and likewise applicable, saying: 'AS YOU SOW, SO SHALL YOU ALSO REAP'!

Doesn't even need to be in the MILLIONS. just a few thousand to start with and the fearful ones would gather pace and join

The fact after 4 years they can still only manage 300 speaks volumes.

The people need serious suppression by a brutal regime.

The junta are just to benign to bother with.!

This from a member of a military coup that overthrew an elected govt and enforced all sorts of outrageous laws and rules that are contrary to good sense and unhelpful to the population. They have done nothing BUT infringe on the rights and freedoms of good citizens. What a cheek!

I understand what you are saying (above) - but we saw in 2010 that when  several THOUSAND Red Shirts got together for a protracted period of demonstration and civil resistance in Bangkok, the military slaughtered nearly 100 persons of their number.

 

I'm afraid it really would take MILLIONS to eject the junta from the body politic ...

It is the serious suppression and using of draconian laws that deter the thousands turning out.

It has been disgraceful that people who benefitted from being bought up in a democracy supported the coup. And used this forum to express their views. Let the Thai people decide by voting

100 were killed in the chaos. Most certainly not all run over by tanks etc.

 

Claims and counter claims by all sides.. Terrorists responsible for a good many of those . Reality is after 3 months of paralysing the city the coup was mobilized. And rightly so! Enough is enough.

 

No more back up only 2k over 3 months? Again speaks volumes about what the other 60 million were thinking. Mostly disgust

The coup was in the making long before that. Even Suthep has admitted that.

Of course it was. As soon as they had Intel on the red shirts. Probably a few months before the protests. That's the armies job

I remember thinking while Suthep was being followed around Bangkok blowing his whistle to demand an end to corruption 'What are you thinking?  Not him, for God's sake!  Not him.'
