HRW calls for pressure on the junta

Featured Replies

I don't think other countries need to get involved.

If Prayuth keeps on destroying the economy and turn back the clock like he's doing now,

the whole problem with get resolved without any external help.

Possibly because the "corrupt criminals" as you refer to them didn't "rely on censorship and arrests to resist a return to democratic rule?"

Possibly because the "corrupt criminals" as you refer to them didn't "run a political dictatorship with all power in the hands of one man?"

Possibly because the "corrupt criminals" as you refer to them didn't "employ dictatorial power systematically to repress human rights throughout the country?"

Possibly because the "corrupt criminals" as you refer to them didn't "try dissidents in unfair military courts,?"

Possibly because the "corrupt criminal" had bought the people off for peanuts! because they didn't know what was being looted for many years from their own country!

Why did we not hear from them when the corrupt criminals were in the governmernt?

hahahha, they are always there....only different clans...

From the HRW:

HRW said repression in Thailand was deepening and the junta relied on censorship and arrests to resist a return to democratic rule.

"One year since the military coup, Thailand is a political dictatorship with all power in the hands of one man," Adams said.

"The date for elections continues to slide, with no certainty when they will happen. Backsliding on respect for basic rights and democratic reform seems to have no end in sight."

HRW claimed that the junta had used dictatorial power systematically to repress human rights throughout the country.

"The ruling National Council for Peace and Order led by Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha has prosecuted critics of military rule, banned political activity, censored the media, and tried dissidents in unfair military courts," HRW stated.

From the junta defenders:

"But, but, but.... Thaksin!"

Typical.
