Military junta bans redshirt to hold memorial activities on April 10

 

 

BANGKOK: -- The redshirt United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) won't be allowed to hold memorial activities on April 10 to remember those who were killed in the military crackdown of anti-government protesters on April 10, 2010.

 

This was made clear to the redshirts by deputy prime minister in charge of national security, Gen Prawit Wongsuwan today.

 

He said he would not allow UDD to hold memorial activities which it was untimely as the country is still in the mourning period.

Good Idea  ......   ban them and lock them up ...

 

They only want to cause trouble and incite violence    !!!

Very wise move. If history is any indication they will disturb the peace that has embraced Thailand.

Peace?

From what we can all witness the peace is only maintained because of fear and abuses...

Maybe but the moment you let the reds get together in groups there is a huge chance for violence. If they wanted to hold a meeting far outside of BKK in their  strongholds I would have no problems with it at all. But letting them protest somewhere in BKK that is asking for problems.

Yes, the cold, clammy embrace of the old elite ensuring peace as long as they are not challenged at the trough.

Good to see you haven't lost your faith djjamie in a time when opening a newspaper should convince all except the completely blind that absolutely nothing has changed under the junta!

Here's a hint for you: "Boss".

 

Hands up those who think the little turd would have received the same "consideration" if his family had been connected to Thaksin!

Which war did he fight in. All those campaign medals?

You cannot erase history. Yellow and red groups should come together on 10 April and lay wreaths at democracy monument. A show of reconciliation. This would make a lot of Thai people happy. Stop forgetting the past and embrace it. Come together and say it's time to move on. This is a great opportunity to heal the wounds that divide the nation.

What history!!! The Reds only being in existence for 10 years. If you want history, coups will be a better example of disturbing the peace by snatching power repeatedly.

history does not  mean it covers a long time. Their history of 10 years is long enough and it is a history of violence and lies. They are not and were never a political group.    They are the violent arm of their creator taksin and his political arm the trt, ptp and whatever name they use. They are still dangerous because they are rooted in fertile spoil, fertilized by  money of their creator. If their funding will run dry they will fade away because that is their only motivation.

Exactly. Not only disturbing the peace but just plain murder. And some ex military responsible parties for that are still alive and no doubt working behind the scenes  stopping the red shirts holding a memorial service for those killed by the military in 2010.

And that statement is an example of not only your complete  ignorance of the facts, but also an example of how they (powers that be and the Elite) wish to continue the brainwashing of those less fortunate, those poorly educated so hence research is challenging to them, and above all else what most of the democratic world is already aware, the peddling of lies to ensure the general populace do not create problems.

In the south of Thailand ( Phatalung ) there is a small, unvisited memorial to mark the last resting place of people who were supposed to have wanted to disturb the peace of Thailand. They were burnt alive in red oil drums by the military, some of them totally innocent of anything at all except challenging proposed ' development ' projects owned by military personnel. The military eventually confessed to about 70 such murders. Locals put the figure at thousands. The screams of the victims were attempted to be hidden by the revving up of military trucks.

And yet there are a few numpties on TV who would jump on any bandwagon at all if only it is anti Shinawatra.

 

Totally pathetic and utterly disgraceful.

[Moonmoon]

so much for reconciliation.

The Thammasat University Massacre was the work of the Redshirts!

I've long suspected that you have a somewhat eccentric view of reality, but to claim that is frankly barking mad!

[johng]

They also case global warming and the Fukushima nuclear reactors meltdowns among other nefarious acts

Can we pass on that one. This was quite a long time ago when Thailand was a different place from today. Lots of terrible events happened in the 70's all over the world. What I mean its like Vietnam war, americans don't get much hassle when they visit there these days. Or Polish people having German friends. That is a long time ago. No I think people who keep on bringing up this terrible day in Thai history and trying to link these events to modern day events in Thailand are wrong. The red shirt democracy monument April 10 2010 event is relevant as its still quite fresh in our memories.

No we bloody well cannot pass on 'that one'. It is well within living memory and easily comparible to current Thai events. How swift you are to consign to the rubbish bin of history the lives of those who suffered and died for simply campaigning for a future more to their liking.

With a coup happening on average every seven years since 1932 and the military once again overtly in power (as opposed to covertly in power) it's difficult to argue that things have changed that much.
