PM appeals to Monarchy supporters not to take law into their hands

BANGKOK: -- Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha has pleaded with supporters of the Monarchy not to take law into their hands against those suspected of insulting the revered institution, saying that they should leave the matter to be handled by law enforcement officials.

The prime minister made the plea after it was reported that a group of people had assaulted an individual suspected of making inappropriate remarks against the Monarchy, said government spokesman Lt-Gen Sansern Kaewkamnerd on Thursday.

The prime minster, he added, has reminded members of the public to be fully aware that the country is in grief over the passing of HM the King and, hence, they should understand one another and should unite as one.
