Popular Post webfact Posted August 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2022 Data collected from 352 COVID-19 patients admitted to the hospital from September 2021 show that 82 percent had at least one long-COVID symptom. (Photo by Fusion Medical Animation) An announcement has been issued by Chief of Thailand’s defence forces, Gen. Chalermpol Srisawat, in his capacity as the chief officer in charge of solving emergency situations related to security affairs, and published in the Royal Gazette yesterday, banning unauthorised public assemblies and gatherings in the wake of clusters COVID-19 infections resulting in a rising number of hospitalisations, severe cases and fatalities, despite more people getting their vaccine booster doses. The move is in line with and complementary to the State of Emergency, in place since March 2020 and extended for the 19th time to the end of September 2022. Despite calls by pro-democracy and rights groups for the Emergency Decree and related bans to be scrapped, claiming that the restrictions have been used to suppress political movements and freedom of expression, the Decree remains and is expected to stay until at least November, when Thailand hosts the 2022 APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) Summit. Under the terms of this edict, police can seek help from the military to enforce the ban and anyone who violates it is liable to two years imprisonment and/or a fine of 40,000 baht if convicted. Gatherings are allowed only when permission isgranted by authorities concerned.

Popular Post Burma Bill Posted August 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2022 Quote from today's AN: Pattaya City officials are planning to deploy 273 officials to facilitate traffic during the Pattaya Music Festival 2022, which will begin its first round on August 5th and 6th. From OP: "banning unauthorised public assemblies and gatherings in the wake of clusters COVID-19 infections resulting in a rising number of hospitalisations, severe cases and fatalities, despite more people getting their vaccine booster doses". So, authorised assemblies are allowed and unauthorised ones are not, despite the risk of COVID-19 infection! IMO, this is not about cluster COVID-19 infections, it is about crushing anti government/military/establishment protests!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just receives more surface attention of late......largely because it sells copy - especially in and around Bangkok, where most of this kind of activity in centered. Usually easily handled by the authorities, as all is concentrated within the particular spaces. Have to wonder how they might get on regarding real/true peasant rebellions throughout the countryside that might or might not engage itself. Remembering the good old days when the most influential resistance derived from upcountry. There has always been political public assembly restrictions and related mandates on the books. No revelations here. The authorities are just a little more brazen about such matters today.......twisting and manipulating the rhetoric. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
