webfact Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Democrat party hits back at Progressive Movement’s laser messages (Photo) Democrat Party Thailand’s Democrat party has accused the Progressive Movement of distorting facts about the crackdown on red-shirt protesters in Bangkok by the government of then Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva a decade ago, in order to discredit him and to turn the public against him. Party spokesman, Mr. Ramet Rattanachaweng, said that Mr. Abhisit, and Mr. Suthep Thaugsuban, then deputy prime minister, had been cleared by both the Supreme Court and the National Anti-Corruption Commission and that the crackdown was legitimate and within the scope of their duty to restore peace and order. Mr. Ramet’s statement today was in response to messages, about the bloody crackdown, projected by laser onto several buildings, including the Defence Ministry, on the 10th anniversary of the event on the night of May 10th. The violent incident left about 100 people, including protesters, officials and innocent by-standers dead and injured over 2,000. More than 30 buildings, including the Central World shopping mall, were set on fire when troops used lethal force to disperse the demonstrators.

I haven't seen any reports as such, in fact I've been wondering how/what technology the people involved were using to project the images? Has anybody noticed and specific reports detailing how the images have been projected/broadcast? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, I am sure these politicians were scapegoats and not involved in giving the orders. Hang on... wasn't there a toad-like guy with a wrist full of watches directing the troops at the time?

Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted May 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2020 There was only one thing wrong with that crackdown: It was too late. The police should have removed the armed red mob as soon as they erected their barricades. And the red leaders should be in jail. 4 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Chor" Pannika Wanich, one of the leaders of the Progressive Movement admitted that it was her group that projected the images onto buildings in Bangkok. Note that the Progressive Movement in this case is a movement created by the banned politicians of the dissolved Future Forward Party, not the UDD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clear Big P and Big P are out to nail anybody connected with the old future Forward and their recent reincarnation with a lot of new and seemingly intelligent and decent players. But they put themselves in the firing line. Why? There must be many actions, strategies they can invoke to raise issues without doing things which are controversial (at least in the eyes of P and P). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The police bigwig has already come out and said the police will not be taking any action as they have not done anything illegal. Bet the green retirees and their successors are not happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
