Report Activists Accuse Thai PM Paetongtarn of Crimes Punishable by Death
Picture courtesy of MGR online In a dramatic turn of events, two activists in northeastern Thailand have put the country's political scene on edge by accusing Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra of serious charges that could even warrant the death penalty. The accusations stem from the leak of a phone call between Ms Paetongtarn and former Cambodian leader Hun Sen, where she reportedly criticised a military commander involved in border affairs. This has sparked a storm of condemnation from some groups opposed to the Shinawatra family. The formal complaint was lodged by anti-corruption crusaders Tul Prasertsilp and Chaichana Tasaniyom on Thursday at the Muang Khon Kaen police station. The duo contends that the Prime Minister's conversation violates several crucial sections of the Thai Criminal Code: Sections 116, 119, 157, and 164, with some suggesting penalties as severe as life imprisonment or the death penalty. These sections include charges such as sedition, national security violations, dereliction of duty, and revealing classified information. The leaked call reportedly included Ms Paetongtarn referring to the Second Army Region’s commander as an “opponent” and discussing border checkpoint negotiations, which Mr Chaichana believes could harm Thailand's national interests. He has demanded that Ms Paetongtarn either step down or dissolve the House of Representatives and publicly apologise. He warned that public opposition to her government would increase if she did not comply. The severity of the charges stems from the following Criminal Code sections: Section 116 deals with sedition and its potential to cause societal unrest, punishable by up to seven years in jail. Section 119 addresses national security issues that could subject the kingdom to the control of a foreign power, with penalties that may include life imprisonment or death. Section 157 speaks to malfeasance by officials, with a maximum ten-year sentence and fines reaching 200,000 Thai Baht. Section 164 covers the unauthorised disclosure of state secrets, which may lead to a five-year sentence and fines up to 100,000 Thai Baht. As the situation unfolds, the allegations have brought significant attention to the potential legal and political repercussions for the Prime Minister. Analysts and political observers are closely monitoring the developments to see how this affects Ms Paetongtarn’s leadership and government stability.
