gemini81 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 As said, fair enough that you were unable to substantiate your earlier claim. No need for you to try and dodge around it further. As to snipping your post, it was in an effort to get a straight answer from you on one issue at time, rather than you obfuscating when asked a specific question on one issue by introducing other issues in your reply. As for documenting what someone else said, I would suggest you ask that person that made the statement instead of inflammatory posts directed at someone else ( that were necessarily snipped to reduce the flaming. ) . I'd already asked the originator and received no reply. you picked up his point about the "pamphleteers" and reiterated it, therefore it seemed logical to ask you for evidence as well seeing that you purported the statement was true. You must have some reason why you believe that several people were arrested for handing out anti monarchy leaflets otherwise you wouldn't have agreed with its veracity, surely? They had many underground websites and all sorts of stuff in violation, as well as speeches, it's widely known. Do some basic research instead of spend the entire day whining on here. You know you've reached absolute rock bottom when you find yourself defending jatuporn, the biggest disgrace and joke in thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jawnie Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 The problem is that the military and the entrenched power interests want to keep this law. The fact that the Army claims to be protecting the monarchy is simply hateful nonsense. The reality is that it keeps the Army and it's traditional base of support in power. Any politician, political group, or acting Thai government, which might make a serious attempt at repealing Article 112 would be unceremoniously removed from power by the Army under the guise of "protecting the monarchy" including the use of Article 112 against opposition individuals. This is the nasty, backward, and self-perpetuating anti-democratic governance Thais find themselves with. That might explain why the current government don't want to repeal the law, but it doesn't explain why they are spending 400 million baht setting up a war room specifically looking for people that are breaking this law. I don't know where the money comes from for these people. My sense is that support for Article 112 and/or the open pledge to not change it is a litmus test for Thai politicians. I see at the same as the "no new taxes" pledge that Republican politicians in the US must make - 112 is a sort of 'third rail' of Thai politics. The PTP has no choice but to support 112 to the point of setting up a war room. They could then, as a previous poster mentioned, simply not bring any 112 charges and could get a far amount of mileage / time from such a strategy. I could forsee, however, events occurring wherein the Army or Democrats could insist on LM charges being laid for specific offenses they perceive, and then take PTP to task for not doing so or for foot dragging. In any case, those who support 112 have the upper hand in Thai politics and any opposition to 112 is a big-time losing issue for anyone opposing it.

Article 112 is now clearly a political tool and Thailand has enough of those in parliament already. It was first used as a political tool by the abhisit government, that much is obvious. As far as I am aware no one has been arrested under Article 112 under this government - please tell me if I am wrong. Perhaps more interesting is those that haven't been, and should have.

houseinbkk Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I find it odd that the DSI is in the business of recommending that charges be dropped. Surely that is the sole responsibility of the Prosecution Office and the Justice Department? You think the police dont have a huge involvement in who gets prosecuted and who doesnt in the West? if so you've lots to learn. I say good not one person should spend a second worrying about arrest for a vile law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaihome Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 So, in the same manner as you have taken the fact that I see no reason to lie to you about my previous posts criticising the red shirts etc. but you will not accept that, I will take the abscence of evidence provided in response to my question as proof that there were no people arrested for handing out anti monarchy pamphlets at this rally. Therefore it was just another lie dropped in casually to the thread with the aim to get people to think it's the truth. Such is the state of debate on this forum. Actually, a person was arrested at March 2011 rally, she was detained by UDD guards and handed over the police and later released. I was mistaken that she was in prison, confusing that with the incident in 2009 where UDD guards detained Wanchai Saetan at the 2009 Songkran protest who was given 15 years, reduced to 10 for pleading guilty. Now, back to finding your post that were cirtical of the UDD and PTP? Who is telling the lies? TH The case of Khun “Pla” and UDD Mon, 14/03/2011 - 14:42 | by prachatai Jim Taylor The case of Khun “Pla” (ปลา), a freelance media writer, arrested by police handing out information on 112 at the UDD rally on Saturday needs to be highlighted, not for the case itself (though that is important) but the manner in which she was arrested. Depressingly, she was handed over to the police by seven rude UDD guards (three were actually police hired as UDD guards) who then took her to the police station between 6-7 hours until after the demonstration finished and then released. Thailand: End Harsh Punishments for Lese Majeste Offenses December 3, 2011 ...The United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD), which led mass anti-government protests in 2009 and 2010, and supports the current government, has also pressed for the enforcement of the lese majeste laws. The UDD leadership urged their supporters to arrest anyone with lese majeste materials and hand them over to the police. In one such case, UDD security guards detained Wanchai Saetan on April 6, 2009, after they found him distributing what they considered to be anti-monarchy leaflets near a UDD protest at the Government House, the prime minister’s office. Wanchai was later sentenced to 15 years in prison, reduced to 10 years for pleading guilty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(my paraphrase of your quote) That obviously doesn't help your case so you helpfully supply "details" of an incident that happened 2 years earlier. Well forgive me if I don't jump to attention, clap you on the back and say "Cor Blimey Guv, fair cop, you got me banged to rights" in my best mockney.

It's been an integral part of the Red Shirt literature for a long time and their representatives that are now in the administration as MP's could move on it if they wanted to. Rally after rally, the Pheu Thai supporters were told of its evilness and how gosh, if only we were in power, by God, it would be changed. All these empty speeches were just yet another issue the masses were deceived with by what is now, the government. The ultimate irony is that rather than at least curtail it, the Pheu Thai have actually expanded its scope with establishing its LM War Room. .

Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra insisted that the government will not meddle with the attempt for the amendment of the Criminal Code's Article 112 on lese majeste launched by the Campaign Committee for the Amendment of Article 112. Yingluck noted that the matter was already discussed by government coalition parties and conclusion was reached. The Campaign Committee for the Amendment of Article 112 said today that they will submit, along with their petition of 27,296 signatures, their proposed amendment to the criminal code (article 112) to Parliament this Tuesday, Yingluck will have no choice then but to "meddle." The Campaign Committee for the Amendment of Article 112 group said 38,281 people signed the petition, but 10,360 of the signatures were found to be invalid. In accordance with the constitution which dictates that to petition Parliament for amendments requires the signatures of at least 10,000 eligible voters, they have easily completed that with their 20,000 plus. Today, the group said they would march from the Royal Plaza to submit their amendment proposal to Parliament. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickymaster Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Love him or hate him millions of Thais adore him. It is their country after all. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion though. I personally hate people that instigate violence, create mob-rule, don't give a s..t about the law, always create conspiracies to keep the reds on their toes and have a master that has terrible human rights records, robs the country empty, runs away from the law and continues his propaganda from a “safe” haven.

Who are you people referring too? Please be careful. Be very careful, as your IPs are logged and will readily hand over to the police in case of any complaints from anyone.

slapout Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Well I can see no reason for anyone to complain to the police about post/opinons made here. There is a report procedure to follow for any want to be snitches. Granted mentioned report goes to TV but if some people want/threaten police involvment, they may want to consider the tourist police website.
