Govt and military not involved in threats to student activist: Prawit

By The Nation

 

 

Deputy Prime Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan on Tuesday said neither the government nor the military was involved in threats against a student activist.

 

Netiwit Chotiphatphaisal, the newly elected president of the Student Council of Chulalongkorn University (SCCU), on Monday received threats from two unknown men who came to the faculty of political science asking to see him.

 

Netiwit file a report to the police.

 

Prawit said it was clear from the CCTV cameras around the area that the two men were not military officers, but teenagers, and that linking the wrong people could only taint their reputations.

 

“I don’t know much about the incident, but I can say that it’s not the government or the military [who were involved],” said Prawit.

 

The council, meanwhile, issued a statement denouncing the threat against Netiwit and urged respect of rights and freedom.

 

The statement added that the university had taken legal action against the two people who appeared at the Faculty of Political Science and asked for Netiwit in a menacing manner.

 

It has also stepped up its security measures around the area.

Whenever I see a photo of this guy, why do I always think of Porky Pork? And what's with the fascist salute in the OP anyway? 

Not military. But could be sons of?

 

Whenever they come out denying something, my instinct is to then believe that what they are trying to deny is true.

Of course not. How could you face admitting to it lol

 

Wished safety upon him already, because, you know...seen it coming before it was planned /rolleyes

I think he should get the Auditor-General, the Ombudsman, the Minister of Tourism and his very own Fortune Teller to confirm and then investigate.
