EU condemns arrest of 14 students in Thailand

[LannaGuy]

students are often the 'conscience' of a nation as they are here with these 14 brave souls

They need to put their own house in order before they criticise others.

Why? Have they changed the law to forbid criticism of the EU and/or its leaders under penalty of years in prison all of a sudden?

Seems reasonable.

What is the Juntas' response ?

I would suggest a sensible reply would be....."Sort out your Greek problem if you have so much time on your hands before you interfere in the way we do things in Thailand"

They are not "brave souls"....they are young people who are disobeying the Law. If they protested about the Law of Lese Majeste, they would be dealt with the same way.....same as "Hoon Laws". etc.

I'm too lazy to check, but I bet the same guys (who continuously state that these students broke the law by peacefully protesting and therefore should be jailed) did not object the PDRC mobs assaulting government house and blocking election in the name of political freedom.
