webfact Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Police to arrest six student activists within this weekBANGKOK: -- Railway police say they will seek court permission to arrest six student activists of the so-called New Democracy group within this week after they refused to report themselves to the police to acknowledge charges.Deputy commander of Railway Police Division Pol Col Pruthipong Prayoonsiri said 11 students led by Mr Sirawich Serithiwat or “Ja New” are facing charge of violating the military junta’s order banning a gathering of people to inspect and investigate the Rajabhakti Park construction.He said the police had summoned the 11 students twice to report themselves to acknowledge the charge that will be brought against them.In the second summon on January 8, only three students reported to the police, leaving six, including Ja New, still defying the order to report.He said the police will within the next few days seek court’s permission to arrest these defiant students within this week.Source: http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/police-to-arrest-six-student-activists-within-this-week -- Thai PBS 2016-01-11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon467848 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Why are railway police involved? Surely their job should be the policing of the railways, not arresting students for a public gathering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAG Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Railway Police? I suppose they were traveling on a train on their way to protest. George Orwell, if only you were here... Mind you he would probably be banned - if only from the trains! Edited January 11, 2016 by JAG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark131v Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Maybe it was because the naughty students forced the railway plod to disconnect the carriage and lose face due their inability to handle a few unarmed youths in a sensible and straightforward manner...

They took the train (first crime) To go to the park (big one that one those days) And they talked about it (...) They are in deep trouble.. So if you feel like going to the park, go by bicycle (trendy those days), wear the right T-Shirt and don't talk about it...

chainarong Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Certain elements in Thailand worry me, there seems to be a attitude in some quarters of bending over back wards or forwards to help the Junta , these people who may very well be carrying out the law according to Prayut - O but wouldn't pass muster at a BBQ need to realise that they will be left high and dry by the Junta, even if it is eventually, what goes around , comes around.......................................................

BigBadGeordie Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 This is clearly a result of the current Junta's action in following populist policies of the Shin (hack, spit) governments actions. Had the Junta not continued free rail travel for (in this case mentally disabled) students, then this situation would never have ........ Even I, with my most sarcastic head on cannot continue this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim walker Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Hitting the like button to often now the rail police will get them and revoke their free student rail cards, that will show them how junta democracy works, hit them in the pocket.

Surely their job should be the policing of the railways, not arresting students for a public gathering. Because the crime has been commit under railways police jurisdiction which crime? Illegal action then. Same-same but different... And, whatever those 'students' might feel or think, or the outcome might have been, defying police orders, twice already, is in itself ...a crime. Has always been, even in TRT/PPP/PTP times, although then the orders issued were quite a bit more 'selective'...

So if you feel like going to the park, go by bicycle (trendy those days), wear the right T-Shirt and don't talk about it... Simple So, according to you, they did not have a political gathering (with more than 5 persons) on that train carriage, hmm? When you feel like going to the park, for a quite walk I guess, is the first accessory you'd think to take with you ...a megaphone? ...That you would use on the train, 'inconveniencing', to say the least, the other passengers? Oh, and why would there have been a (quite large) number of media people present on that train, just as tourists, or were they 'called in', to record the programmed 'democratic activity'(?!) these (not that young...!) 'students' were going to perform...? (Not saying there are no corruption issues about that park, but that this was a well organised agit-prop action, just using the park as an excuse to create political tensions, ...and that it had nowhere anything to do with the word: 'democracy'!)

baboon Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) ^^ So why we're they simply denied boarding at Thon Buri if your suppositions are in any way close to accurate? Edited January 12, 2016 by baboon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangrak Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 ^^ So why we're they simply denied boarding at Thon Buri if your suppositions are in any way close to accurate? You know all the facts, I only express suppositions, have no knowledge of generally available information, and haven't seen the quite many pictures about this pumped-up agit-prop thing, god, you're smart, how stupid does that make me... Do you know how they behaved while boarding the train? I don't! I guess not as a closed bunch of political agitators though, as the media show had not yet begun, they were probably smart enough (quite 'seasoned' students, you know...) not to start their organised agit-prop(!) action before the train was running...

So you tell those 'students' (quite old to be true) didn't 'misbehave' on that train, OK, good enough for me, I wasn't there, but I guess you were to know so much better, ...and the published pictures were all probably 'doctored' (no, photoshopped, the last we heard 'doctored', in denial, was about a certain audio recording...) then, isn't it... Sigh. That's a 'trait' you guys, unfortunately, share: you wouldn't recognise (//admit) the truth of facts even when it'd slap you right in the face... Fret not, the present leadership seems to have caught the same disease, yet not in the terminal phase the 'Thaksin regime' was suffering of, though...
