webfact Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Run Against Dictatorship press conference held at Thammasat University By The Nation The Chana Songkhram Metropolitan Police Station reportedly prevented a press conference for the Run Against Dictatorship campaign from going ahead at Royal Rattanakosin Hotel on Monday (December 16), but the organisers chose Thammasat University Tha Prachan Campus as an alternative, the official Run Against Dictatorship Facebook page said. The page explained that the press conference "would not cause any turbulence" as the schedule was previously publicised and the police should not prevent political activity. Previously, an attempt to hold the press conference at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Thailand on December 11 was halted by Lumpini Police Station. Despite intervention from the authorities, the campaign’s organisers insisted they would make it happen to express their freedom, and eventually held the press conference at Thammasat University Tha Prachan Campus on Monday morning. Future Forward Party leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit stated that he was ready to join the Run Against Dictatorship campaign on January 12, 2019, after about a thousand Bangkok residents joined in his political rally on December 14.

cornishcarlos Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 That's another bunch of charges to be bought against those organisers then.. You can't have a run against dictatorship when it's a democratically elected government in charge. A fully free and fair election at that !!!

yellowboat Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 And you wonder why cha cha never talks about freedom. He and his civil service hate the word. Real leaders do not fear political gatherings and debate. Shortsighted buffoons find it very worrisome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
