Interior Minister lashes out at Suthep
The Nation

BANGKOK: -- Interior Minister Jarupong Ruangsuwan Monday revealed that the legal team is brainstorming to file charges against Democrat MP Suthep Thaugsuban, for proceeding with the protest without a proper reason.

He said that Suthep’s original demand was to have the government withdraw all amnesty bills. Now that all coalition parties agreed to his demand, Suthep still led the protest and refiled the demand that all amnesty bills be dropped by 6pm today.

The minister said he personally viewed this as a new condition and Suthep could be charged for treason.

He also urged the Democrats to bring its fight against corruption to Parliament. He admitted that there are concerns on the negative impact of this on investment sentiment. If Thailand loses any opportunity, the Democrats must be responsible for that, he said.

Ok...so I'm a rebel. Are the students rebels? Are the business people rebels? Are the judges rebels? Are university professors rebels? Is anyone that disagrees with your party a rebel?

I have a question for you Mr. Interior Minister. Are you really so stupid?

Rebel...where is my Che Guevara TShirt?

Now I can see the real intention to reconciliation. It feels soooo peaceful already.

It should open the eyes for everyone who still believe the amnesty bill was for reconciliation.

"brainstorming to file charges against Democrat MP Suthep Thaugsuban, for proceeding with the protest without a proper reason."

I guess that's 'without a proper reason which we as government can accept as such."

Mind you, I like the way the Thai PBS phrased their article "file rebellion charges against leaders of the anti-amnesty bill". Might that be some Pheu Thai MPs ? rolleyes.gif

The protest is against the amnesty-bill, which is still before the Senate, but this is now deemed an act of rebellion ?

What a wonderful world, where a Minister in the sitting government can decide, what is or isn't an acceptable reason for a peaceful protest. wink.png

Remember when PTP were in opposition, they used to claim to fight for justice & freedom-of-expression & democracy, now they reveal their true anti-democratic colours.

Yay for Red-Faces All Round ! facepalm.gif

When a high ranking government minister starts down a road such as this, his opponents can only interpret this as an act intimidation as one of pure desperation to stem an increasing torrent of anti-government protest.

People don't need a reason to protest. It is their right to protest. Clearly it helps to have a defined point of reference or a reason for the protest. But any persons right to protest is protected (allegedly) by the constitution.

We are protesting because we want a new government / are against the current government is a fairly tried and tested reason for a protest in many countries. It is neither rebellious or treasonous.

Charupong threatens legal actions against protesters

BANGKOK: -- Interior Minister Charupong Ruangsuwan on Monday said he will discuss with concerned agencies whether to take legal actions against the protesters at Democracy Monument.

The Democrat Party-led rally is deemed as an action of rebellion because they failed to keep their words, the interior minister said.

He said the protest leaders initially announced they just wanted the controversial amnesty bill to be withdrawn and they would end their protest but now they stepped the protest to try to topple the government.

Ah, but they are Rebels with a Cause. They are either campaigning against the government or they are campaigning against Thaksin or they are campaigning against the ICJ decision (whatever it may be).

Suthep and the dem party who are backing him is campaigning against the amnesty bill. Then he put an unrealistic time limit on the deliberation of the bill, saying he will carry on the protest if it is not "done and dusted" by 6pm. He also announced a "Peoples Court" that is supposed to be making judgement today. He is doing everything he can to coincide "his", read dem party, demands to coincide with the ICJ Verdict being read and the other demonstration sites and hoping for it all to go off.

Which is what the government were saying would be an unreasonable escalation of the protest which doesn't sound stupid at all. It sounds like a fair reading of what the dems are trying to do,spark confrontation by stoking hate.

Totally irrational people in this administration. :blink:

They are going to blame the opposition for their own shortcomings?
