BANGKOK: -- The National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) yesterday published an infographic explaining the fine details of the junta’s Public Assembly Bill in a light of tomorrow’s likely mass gathering in front of the Supreme Court.

 

Police have estimated that thousands of people may show up to provide moral support to former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, who is due to hear her final verdict regarding to a case stemming from the rice-pledging scheme.

 

The infographic clarified what types of gatherings are both allowed and prohibited under the Bill. It also said what damage such gatherings and protests could cause the country.

 

Courts are also banned for such protests unless a specific area is prepared specifically for them. 

 

Other prohibited areas include the Palace compounds, the Parliament and Government Houses.

 

 Assemblies must also not be arranged in ways to interrupt the operation of the government, airports, ports, transportation stations, hospitals, schools, religious places, embassies, international organisations and other areas as declared by minister.

 

Enacted in 2015, the bill came in place amid concerns that it would curb public freedom of expression. A junta order has banned political gatherings of five or more people since the 2014 coup.

Protesters ???

They are merely "supporters", how do they know that there will be anything to protest about 

Supporters should just say they're rubber farmers protesting low prices. Prayut will leave them alone.
