Thai human rights NGO iLaw and civil society networks, including People Go and the Constitution Advocacy Alliance, are to launch a signature-gathering campaign to push for the drafting of a People’s Constitution.

 

iLaw manager Mr. Yingcheep Atchanont said the group will hold a press conference this afternoon, at the Faculty of Law of Thammasat University, to provide details about the constitution they are seeking. They will also launch a campaign to collect at least 50,000 signatures, from members of the public, to support their demands.

 

According to Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngarm, the Government’s top legal expert, there are two ways to amend the existing Constitution.

People’s Constitution.

Cute! 

They had a "peoples" constitution already   I think it was the 1997 one ?  

now  they have the "one persons" constitution and I can't see that person letting any (worthwhile) changes be made without a big struggle...but still good on them for at least trying.

If they think its bad now, give it a few more months of no income, destitution and homelessness
