webfact Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Temple monks defiant By THE NATION Dhammakaya Temple monks and followers clash briefly with police and Department of Special Investigation officials at the monastery in Pathum Thani yesterday. Injuries in scuffles as authorities target ‘group that could be untouchable’ BANGKOK: -- LEADERS of Dhammakaya Temple continued to call on supporters to press the junta to revoke its order sealing off the compound in Pathum Thani as a protracted stand-off dragged on after a conflict between monks and police early yesterday. Nearly 4,000 police were stationed around the temple with a 10-metre buffer zone between them and praying monks and disciples. More negotiations were pending as of press time. National police chief Pol General Chakthip Chaijinda said he was confident that the situation at the temple would be resolved by this weekend. But Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam dismissed a rumour that the junta would revoke its order sealing off the temple compound.

Redline Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 If the monks are assisting a criminal, then they are criminals as well. They need to be put in their place. The Catholic church realized this after decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
