Most doubt reports of bids to kill PM, Prawit: survey

By The Sunday Nation

 

Most people are not convinced there have been attempts to try to assassinate Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha or his deputy Prawit Wongsuwan, a survey has found.

 

Almost 77 per cent of people surveyed by Suan Dusit Poll said they did not believe the reported threats, as they did not know the entire facts regarding the matter. They said that the reports could be an attempt to spread rumours for political purposes.

 

The remaining 23 per cent said they believed it was true, as it was not unusual for government leaders to get death threats from people adversely affected by their policies.

Of course it's rubbish....who could possibly want to harm two such likable characters?

Ah the Dusit Poll, the ones that have their select group of 1,421 people the poll every time.   A government group working for the Junta cause.

The junta PM is in danger. He shoots himself in the foot daily and his foot is usually in his mouth.

National Security Council (NSC) Secretary General Thawip Netniyom said Monday assassination plots targeting top two country leaders came from lese majeste suspects who are living in Laos.

Police spokesman Krissana Pattanacharoen said the force wants to prosecute Xaysana in Thailand and dismissed speculation Thai authorities want to use the Laotian suspect as a bargaining chip in exchange for political dissidents seeking refuge in Laos.

Thailand seeks extradition of Thai nationals from Laos on lese majeste charges

The individuals that are being sought by the government were associated with the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship, or as they are more commonly known, the Red Shirt movement. They are a political pressure group opposed the ruling military government who came to power in a coup in 2014.

It looks credible to me that death threats were made. These are just the past months news reports. Thai authorities have been trying to bring these suspects back to Thailand for over 2 years, since they fled after the coup.
