Civil society groups in Chiang Mai province have called for a demonstration beside the office of Region 5 Appeals Court on June 30 to demand the eviction of court officials from Doi Suthep foothill housing estate in Mae Rim district.

 

The groups alleged that about 30 families of court officials are still staying at a condominium building of the housing estate in defiance of a resolution agreed upon by the people’s sector and the government that the housing project be halted and the land on which the project is located must be restored to its original status as forest.

 

It is unclear what the groups will do next aside from rallying near the Region 5 Appeals Court.

that is so thai; court officials and associates openly defying the law; laws are just inconveniences to them, never mind that is how they make their living

They probably can't do much without breaking the law. I am sure the judges will be delighted if that happens; that might give them the opportunity to rule on their guilt or innocence. It would be an irony if that happened.
