An elderly woman has been dragged away after shouting and cursing at the Thai PM as he visited the western province of Ratchaburi. According to a Nation Thailand report, the unnamed woman was part of a crowd of people who had gathered at Ban Pong Community Hall yesterday morning to greet PM Prayut Chan-o-cha.

 

It’s understood that when the PM appeared, the woman starting shouting and cursing at him. She was quickly subdued by two female police officers, who covered her mouth and attempted to push her out of the way. However, the woman continued her shouting and cursing, forcing other officers to drag her away to an area behind a parked van.

 

 

According to the report, one officer told witnesses that the woman was fainting and that she was taken away to receive first-aid.

 

During the same visit, another woman held up three fingers, a well-known gesture to symbolise opposition to the government. She was also quickly removed after officials surrounded her and escorted her away.

 

Not everyone was in favour of expressing anti-government sentiment, with several people in the crowd shouting at the woman and berating her for embarrassing the residents of Ban Pong.

 

It’s understood that a member of the press who was present took photographs and filmed the incident, with officials subsequently asking to see his press pass and questioning his reasons for filming.

 

The PM was visiting Ratchaburi to check on the progress of various government projects in the province. Political debate is heating up in Thailand ahead of the general election, which is expected to be held on May 7.

 

The PM has already dropped hints that he could dissolve the House of Representatives following a Cabinet meeting scheduled to take place on March 14.

That is a disgusting way to treat someone who is not breaking the law.

Let's see how the PM's PR people spin that one around.

Effen he???????? man.

According to the PM, what happened to this lady is not violence.

Article in the Thai Enquirer.

Excellent. More politicians should be shouted down here. The people should be able to express their extreme displeasure at the horrible performance of these goons. Prayuth deserves no respect. Kudos to this lady for telling it like it is.

 

Cha Cha, you are a dreadfully poor leader. 

Solved the cause of fainting reported by one officer ????

 

Now't like a bit of suppression of the freedom of speech..........

 

Bet it was all a bit of a misunderstanding and the great one wasn't aware  of this happening.

 

It's a pity he didn't come another 30klms and he could have seen the " Black Snow " and smoke  from the numerous field fires.

Chinese tactics

A really pathetic move. The police should never have roughed her up like that. I thought China was where you would see this sort of thing.

 

All to protect fragile egos.  So many sad little men in LOS. 

Typical of dictatorship like jaunta coup d'etat Thailand will never be  free until separation of military from government 

Looking at the photograph in the OP makes me sick. Move aside peasants!

At least she was not sprayed with disinfectant.....

"He also highlighted his administration’s work in the area, including the expansion of the Eastern Economic Corridor and the construction of roads and railways, which he believes will greatly benefit the next generation".......of Chinese

freedom of speech.... right to demonstrate.... democracy

Ofcourse him say , the mafia in brown never do anything wrong.

No matter how you feel about the government it is a silly thing to do.  She could end up in jail or have to be rehabilitated.

So sad the Thai people are so something, that they accept this. 

Reminds me of an incident I once  witnessed in Soviet Russia, in Moscow, in 1975.

According to Damrongsak, the policewomen who covered her mouth and tried to remove her were following the security protocol laid out for the visit.

 

Correction: According to Damrongsak, the policewomen who covered her mouth and tried to remove her were following the security protocol laid out for the visit learned from Chinese authorities, and any other country without a proper democratic government, such as Russia.

Silence the masses. 

Maybe we curmudgeons should consider using burner email addresses,  VPNs, and self censor while free speech is bring challenged.

Just doing their job, right. I wish some people would actually start doing their job and sack all those incompetent nitwits who have no idea what they’re talking about, like this national police chief. Whatever happened to free speech? Or does that not apply when the commoners wish to criticize those in power, like Dear Leader?

Yes, nobody ever managed to achieve change from going up against the authorities and being disruptive. You achieve change by meekly doing what you're told, accepting the status quo given you by the A-maat and wait for Karma to take its course. Shouldn't be more than a couple hundred years more before that'll do the trick.
