MOVE FORWARD MP Amaratana Chokpamitkul said Monday (Nov.14) she will be seeking justice in court after turning herself in at a Bangkok police station for branding Prayut Chan-o-cha a ”criminal” prime minister online.

 

The woman lawmaker turned herself in at Nang Lerng police station in the face of an arrest warrant based on a libel charge against her after she had tweeted to brand Prayut as a “criminal” prime minister who rose to power by way of the 2014 coup which he himself had orchestrated as army chief.

 

Amaratana maintained that she had practically represented millions of people who had been disgruntled and deterred from launching criticisms online against the current premier who had evidently committed the crime by robbing them of democratic rule, overthrowing an elected government, tearing up the constitution and managing to grant himself a pardon from all penalties otherwise provided by law.

The truth is a very curious thing here in Thailand TIT

The truth always hurts... But the children in power can't accept critics..

If only the people knew the true extent of the corruption. And especially when they try so hard to portray themselves as clean, and corruption fighters. Ha! Prayuth, Prawit, Anutin, Phiphat, Big Joke, and so many others.

 

Hopefully exile, and a trial at the Hague awaits them all.

Best of luck lady...

If overthrowing a democratically elected government and taking power for yourself isn't criminal, I don't know what is.

A righteous brave lady...........

Prayut stole the country when his Junta deposed the legally elected Thai  government in 2014, so this lady is correct. Prayut committed a criminal act when he led that Junta and he has never been held accountable for this.

 

Whether the Junta was justified in his eyes or not is irrelevant and if the judicial system here had any balls then they would bring him to justice, but of course that will never happen when  military rule illegally over rides democracy.

 

Subsequent faux elections do not mitigate against the original crime of sedition that was carried out.
