Charter Court will consider petition against delay in anti-torture law enforcement

[snoop1130]

 

Thailand’s Constitutional Court has decided to consider a petition challenging the constitutionality of the government’s Executive Decree postponing the enforcement of key provisions of the Prevention and Suppression of Torture and Enforced Disappearance Act.

 

The court also ordered the cabinet and the Royal Thai Police to submit their written statements to justify the postponement within 15 days.

 

A group of 99 MPs, mostly from the opposition camp, submitted the petition to the court asking for a ruling on whether the government’s Executive Decree, to defer the enforcement of Sections 22-25 of the Act from February 22nd to October 1st, is constitutional.

More delaying tactics.

Sounds like a one-party control of government. Who would have thought?
