PerMas denies involvement in series of explosions in Bangkok

 

 

The Federation of Pattani Students and Youth (PerMAS-Persatuan Mahasiswa Anak muda dan Siswa PATANI) has denied reports that it is behind the series of explosions in Bangkok last Friday, claiming the report was fake and intended to discredit the organization, according to PerMas president Hafis Yokok.

 

Mr. Hafis said that the information and images distributed online, claiming that a member of PerMas is linked with the recent blasts, were all fabricated, created misunderstanding among the public and that the person is not from PerMas.

 

“We are a political organization where students, who advocate for peace and democracy, gather. There is an attempt to link us with the BRN, but we only work on information sharing in the Deep South. There has been no evidence whatsoever to prove the claim” said Mr. Hafis.

Mr Hafis added; "And besides we would have done a proper job not some undersized fire crackers."

it's a legal and peaceful student organisation.

 

it's possible that one of the bombers was also member of permas, but that has nothing to do with an organisation. 

 

the only other organisation, on top of BRN, capable of organising 15 bombers and many more involved in planning, preparing explosives, is the thai army. Unlikely in this case, but probable in 2006 bombings in bangkok
