Opposition files complaint to CSD police against 4th Army Region commander

 

 

Opposition parties today lodged a complaint with Crime Suppression Division police (CSD) accusing the commander of the Fourth Army Region, Lt-Gen Pornsak Poonsawat, and Maj-Gen Burin Thongprapai, a specialist with the forward command of the Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC), of making false allegations.

 

The Opposition bloc referred to the complaint, filed by Maj-Gen Burin with the Pattani provincial police accusing 12 politicians and five academics, including leaders of Pheu Thai and Future Forward parties, claiming they had made comments which incited public unrest and sedition in violation of Section 116 of the Criminal Code.

 

The Opposition complaint claims that the 12 accused had participated in a public forum as part of their campaign to amend the Constitution, which is also a policy of the government, adding that their comments were their expression of opinion, as is their right under the Constitution, and there was no distortion of facts as claimed by the military.

Maybe they should be sued for defamation?

Often sued by the military against civilians.

Just goes to show who actually runs the country.
