BANGKOK — Junta chairman and Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha has declined an invitation to attend the 23rd anniversary of a pro-democracy uprising in Bangkok.

A group of activists submitted the invitation to Gen. Prayuth through Government House officials this morning. Adul Kiewboriboon, chairperson of the Relatives of 1992 May Martyrs, said this year's event will consist of a religious merit making ceremony in memory of those who died in the unrest 23 years ago.

"The Prime Minister is a leader who is spreading reconciliation and harmony among all sides to help move the country forward," Adul said. "So we would like to extend our invitation to the Prime Minister."

The crackdown in May 1992, known as the Black May, followed mass street protests in Bangkok against Gen. Suchinda Kraprayoon, an army chief who seized power from an elected government in 1991 and later installed himself as Prime Minister. At least 50 people died in the violence, according to authorities.

Remember that Prayut was part of the military crackdown on the 2010 PTP protests that resulted in 90 people killed.

No doubt he realized the inappropriateness of his presence at this memorium.

Shouldn't you tell Adul Kiewboriboon, chairperson of the Relatives of 1992 May Martyrs who submitted the invitation ?

Rubi, that invitation was done intentionally to ambarass Prayuth and he did brilliantly. Prayuth played right into his hands by rejecting. He should just ignore and keep silence which is beyond him.

As commander he was instructed to disperse/ remove the people, Prayut - o did not do this off he's own back.

Perhaps the experience might have been enlightening, as he may be involved in another commemoration in five or ten years time , knowing Thailand.

So, if Prayut had ignored the invitation what would have been said?

It would seem that the organisers are not really interested in reconciliation, only in annoying. One may think that inappropriate while organizing an event which consists of a "religious merit making ceremony in memory of those who died".

Did you read the topic?

"Junta chairman and Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha has declined an invitation to attend the 23rd anniversary of a pro-democracy uprising in Bangkok."

BTW some of my post seems to have disappeared. Let me repeat

"It would seem that the organisers are not really interested in reconciliation, only in annoying. One may think that inappropriate while organizing an event which consists of a "religious merit making ceremony in memory of those who died"."
