PM says Section 44 to be lifted if Dhammachayo gives up

 

Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha made clear last night that he would lift Section 44 once the former abbot Phra Dhammachayo surrenders to authorities and enters justice procedures.

 

In the address to the nation on his weekly “Returning Happiness to the People” last night, Gen Prayut said he was ready to lift Section 44 immediately if Phra Dhammachayo comes out from hiding and turning himself to the authorities.

 

He dismissed accusation that the government uses the power under Section 44 to bully the former abbot or the temple.

Thats about the best form of answer you will get from him. I am sure the monk like Kim in North Korea with sanctions laughed his head off. WOW lift article 44 that will surely bring him out. Nothing but sounds of desperation.  I don't know whether I should laugh or cry at this one.
