bangkokfrog Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 To any thinking person, such sessions would harden anti-government attitudes rather than change them. But then soldiers of all levels in the Thai army are not paid to think but do what they are told from "above". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamnutsak Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 such sessions would harden anti-government attitudes rather than change them Well (as some who have experienced these have commented) the threats to freeze assets, get fired from jobs, threats to any/all family, seem to bring most into line. One assumes this chap is somehow impervious to the normal threats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldiablo Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) These attitude adjustments are ridiculeous.

webfact Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Junta to Hold Politician ‘Until He Cooperates’By Khaosod EnglishBANGKOK — The ruling military junta said today former minister Pichai Naripatapan’s latest detention in an army camp – his seventh since the coup – will only end when it deems him to be “cooperative.”Soldiers showed up to take Pichai away from his home in Bangkok’s Pratunam area yesterday morning and placed him in indefinite military custody at an army camp for “attitude adjustment” due to his criticism of the junta’s economic policies, junta spokesman Winthai Suvaree confirmed today.“It was necessary to invite Pichai to exchange opinions and reach some understanding with us, in accordance with our usual measure of maintaining peace and order,” Winthai said today, using junta euphemisms for involuntary detention of dissenters. Recenty, Pichai started to express his opinion in violation of the conditions that we asked him to cooperate with.”Answering a reporter who asked when Pichai – who served as energy minister under the previous government – would be released from custody, Winthai said, “Officials will attempt to create understanding with him. How long it takes depends on his cooperation, and on the judgement of the responsible officials.”Full story: http://www.khaosodenglish.com/detail.php?newsid=1441879130 -- Khaosod English 2015-09-10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
