webfact Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Army chief says dissident students not foesBANGKOK: -- Army commander-in-chief Gen Udomdej Seetabutr said dissident students are not foes but sons who are the future of the country.The army chief and also deputy defence minister stated today after he was asked to comment on security officials pondering legal action against the 14 defiant student activists now detained at Bangkok Remand Centre.He said authorities are in the process of considering legal action against them, while other relevant officials are also looking into an appropriate solution as they are considered to be youths.Security officials did not look at them as Foes, but sons who will become the future of the country, he said.But Gen Udomdej maintained that if their movement is a threat to peace and order, and breaks the law, then action has to be taken to stop it from widening and to ensure that national security is not threatened.He affirmed that the government and the National Council for Peace and Order were not reluctant to fight with any side but merely to resolve all problems to bring complete democracy in the country.He asked for cooperation from their teachers or any persons coming out to voice comments on these dissident students to do it appropriately, as some have good intention and some have hidden agendas.He then called for a halt in voicing any comment that could jeopardise peace and order.Gen Udomdej said there is also a certain group of students in Chiang Mai coming out to support the 14 dissident students.But they still gave cooperation to authorities to move within the framework of law which is acceptable, he said.However there is also another anti dissident student group coming out to show its symbolic protest, he said and added that government authorities are monitoring the two groups closely and did not want to see conflict to happen between the two groups.He compared the current anti-government and anti-military junta movement which are resolving conflicts and problems in the country to a doctor who is conducting a surgery to save the life of a victim, but is obstructed by them.Source: http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/army-chief-says-dissident-students-not-foes -- Thai PBS 2015-07-06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisY1 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Then as sons of the future of Thailand, they should be commended for their stance....and not sent to trial in a military court. This article indicates the absolute hypocrisy of the controlling junta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lildragon Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Really? I thought they were evil lackeys of the bogey man in Dubai like the sycophants on here keep telling us? Still waiting for evidence of that. Or is it now plain to see that they are just not happy with this Dword-ship that has grasped Thailand. Free the students!

NongKhaiKid Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Yes they are the sons of the future of the country providing they learn their place in the grand scheme of things and currently that means no dissent and simply be a very obedient son.

NongKhaiKid Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Then why are they being detained.....stop your cock and bull story... Thai officialdom tends to make a situation bad or a bad situation worse by a ) acting without thinking things through and b ) continually talking, often in circles. Things are worse when we consider the country is being run by senior military officers who are supposed to have been trained to think things through but they way the operate i can't imagine them handling a major armed conflict in defence of the nation.

toybits Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 They are not foes but they are a threat to national security and must be detained for an undetermined length of time?

pisico Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Then why are they being detained.....stop your cock and bull story... Why? They broke the law. The Junta's Law. How many constitutions Thailand has had? Never mind that. It is the Junta's Law and that is that. I would like to see the usual suspects defend the validity of the Junta's Law. Nevertheless, our opinion matters not even an iota to the powers that be. As long as we have to report every 90 days and be perfect in all aspects, we can opine or rant all we want and that will never yield any tangible or just results. All we are doing is venting our opinions and "feelings" in a fruitless exercise of futility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Where are the ANALOGY POLICE? The General likens the Junta's charges against the students "to a doctor who is conducting a surgery to save the life of a victim, but is obstructed by them." It is more like a doctor wants to remove a person's leg to prevent the person from ever hurting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docno Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Geez, I need to stay away from the mid-afternoon tipple.

Truth4All Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 How convenient is the anti-dissident students group! PDRC, come back to help us again! This new group probably has a few sponsors in the Military. Doubletalk and gobbledegouck. The problem is the lamp is lit and they don't know any other way to react to these "dissidents".

The protests that crippled Bangkok and ousted the previous elected government, now that was making troubles.
