New deadline set for surrender if negotiations with temple officials fail

 

AS MANY as seven police companies will be on standby to help arrest and remove fugitive abbot Phra Dhammachayo from of Wat Dhammakaya in Pathum Thani province if he fails to surrender by December 10.


The police and Department of Special Investigation (DSI) have decided to take action if a National Office of Buddhism team assigned to negotiate the abbot’s surrender is unsuccessful, deputy national police chief Pol General Srivara Ransibrahamakul said yesterday.

24 hour standby for up to 7 companies of police.

These will be definitely count as amongst The Longest Day(s).

 

Another deadline almost certainly will be needed as Dec 10 is both a Saturday and a Public Holiday so there will be no one around to deal with any surrender.

Maybe he can arrange to give himself up on the day of the next General Election !     :whistling:

Here you a high ranking abbot with millions of devotees and followers

worshiping the ground he walks on, a person that many more millions

listen to his teaching as the gospel truth and the light of wisdom,

BUT YET, he's acting like a fugitive criminal, defying and snubbing the

authorities, playing hide and seek, instead to front up and deal wit the situation,

makes you think, dose this person really deserves to be in the status people

look up to him to be?....

Yesterday midnight was one of the many deadlines already set and passed and he is still free and well protected. This guy will not surrender and the authorities are showing spectacular failings in their ability to find, arrest and bring to justice a person who clearly believes he is above the law.

Thailand is not China.

 

In China if you have followers and a movement that is not sanctioned and under the auspices of the Communist Party, you are toast. You will be crushed.

 

In Thailand the administration is reluctant to move against powerful groups because overnight it creates an opposition movement. So the Thai model is to work from the outside in (harry, harrass and inconvenience the low level supporters, the grassroots and slowly work up) and not to slice off the head until the grassroots are neutralised.

 

That is what we are seeing now.

Send in the Ninjas to extract the monk under the cover of darkness... better still get some ex SAS, there is enough of them living in Thailand, one of them drinks in my local watering hole....

Historically, " church's" have always provided sanctuary.

 

historically, a lot of the applicants for sanctuary, dress up as women and escape.

 

i wonder were this bloke will turn up next, because I doubt he will be there come 10 December.

  This monk seems to be able to go off the radar at will so sending police to capture him may be a waste of personel. Good trained attack dogs , following blood hounds (with proper source of bait) should bring out the rabbit in him. Let him try horse trading with them or ask them for bail.

 

the reward system used in the past was said to be successful, maybe a portion of siezed assets sold could induce someone to find and turn him over to the proper authorties.
