Red shirts warn Prayut to avoid repeat of 1992 ‘Black May’

By The Nation

 

A red-shirt leader on Saturday warned Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha of possible bloodshed similar to “Black May” if he perpetuates his political power.

 

Korkaew Pikulthong, a leading member of the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD), said “senior persons of the country” should remind Prayut of the possible outcome.

 

Korkaew was speaking to reporters in front of the Bangkok Remand Prison where he waited to welcome UDD chairman Jatuporn Promphan, who was released Saturday morning after serving a one-year jail sentence.

 

Korkaew said the UDD believes that the post-coup National Council for Peace and Order led by Prayut would try to retain its political power, as did those behind the 1991 coup led by General Suchinda Kraprayoon.

 

Suchinda broke his promise and accepted the post of prime minster following a post-coup election in 1992. That led to street protests that were later crushed by the military, resulting in bloodshed in what has become known as the “Black May” or “Bloody May” incident. There were 52 military-confirmed deaths, many disappearances and allegations of torture.

 

“To prevent such an incident from happening again, I think all sides should discuss how to pre-empt it, and senior persons of the country should remind Prayut, the prime minister and the NCPO chief,” Korkaew said.

 

He added that UDD leaders would soon hold discussions on how to tackle the sources of repeated national crises.

Pulling the stunts again. 

If it happens, only the innocent naive citizens will get hurt.  These instigators will gone missing somewhere safely.

Their secret mission always in the name of 'democracy" has been since the group established.

So you think the 1976, 1992 and 2009 shootings and killings of citizens were for the betterment of Thailand. You have a sick sense of rationality. 

And would seem you have a poor sense of reasoning.

Seem straightforward enough. Military have killed citizens and they are now being forewarned. What more reasoning you need?

You're pretty right there, most Thais couldn't give a rats arse which group of leaches are at the trough, as it same same - red, yellow, junta makes no difference.

red shirts threatening violence and death again, nothing new, they are a terrorist group at best and use  violence as their tool of choice. The sooner these groups(reds & yellows) are removed the better, they are there purely to cause trouble, they are not there for the betterment of Thailand at all.

Exactly, about time these upstart reds accepted their place in society and realised the current "government" is as good as it gets. :shock1:

Not so sure about the Yellows, they have what they want at this time ?

The Thai public appear to be the enemy of the RTA....there's no plausible reason to think such actions will not occur again....

I saw Jatuporn and his sidekick Nattawut on television this morning, Jatuporn has lost a lot of weight, jail has done wonders for him. They must have had him in solitary, he couldn't stop talking. Oh wait, he never could stop talking, my bad.

The point under discussion was the average Thai, not myself, can you see the difference.

Which is a good but not the only reason, why Thailand is still very much a 3rd world feudal state. The "naive" average Thai must feel powerless to change anything for the better. :sad:

You really have to be spoon feed. Has the corruption involving watchgate or parkgate ever being investigated? Is the NACC on top of military corruption and their abnormal wealth?
