Thai government pre-empts bid to debate delay to enforcement of anti-torture law

[snoop1130]

 

Thailand’s opposition parties’ bid to hold a debate on the executive decree, delaying the enforcement of some provisions of the Act for the Prevention and Suppression of Torture and Enforced Disappearance today (Tuesday), was foiled when government MPs submitted a motion seeking a ruling from the Constitutional Court on the constitutionality of the decree.

 

About 100 government MPs signed the motion, to be submitted to the Constitutional Court by House Speaker Chuan Leekpai within three days. As such, the debate on the decree was pre-empted.

 

Chinnavorn Bunyakiat, a Democrat MP and deputy government chief whip, said that government MPs have the right to ask for the charter court’s ruling, to clear up any doubts over the legitimacy of the executive decree.

I can't square this with the recent urgent haste to approve the bull, cock and fish fighting and betting legislation. It shows what a farce the government is and shows us that our leaders have zero moral compass.

Trying to sort out all these fakakta politics is torture.

Jeese there oughta be a law.
