Arseman To Compose Songs On National Reconciliation

Former singer and red-shirt activist Arisman Pongruangrong, who reported himself to the junta along with two aids yesterday came up with an idea.

 

He has offered to croon songs that would promote the NCPO's reconciliation policies, according to Suchaiwut Chaosuankluay, an activist representing Free Thai Legal Aid (FTLA).

 

Suchaiwut said a number of people he represented could not report because the orders were issued at night, while some had health problems.

 

He said the FTLA would work to get them to present themselves to the NCPO at a later stage.

 

A woman using the name of Janya Yimprarsert, a political activist on a summons list, showed up yesterday, but was later discharged after a check found she merely had the same name as the person the junta was really after. That wanted Janya later posted on her Facebook page that she remained in Finland.

 

The NCPO has issued three orders - 49th, 53rd and 59th - summonsing a large number of individuals, including red-shirt associates accused of violating lese majeste laws - such as Jakrapob Penkair, Giles Ji Ungpakorn, Ekkaphob Luara and Chatwadee Amornpat. All are reported to be abroad.

 

Among other high-profile names on the lists are Aree Krainara, the security chief of the red shirts, and Sunai Chulpongsatorn.

 

Jiraprawat Wasinsongsuradej, who reported himself yesterday, flashed three fingers to reporters across the street before going inside the Army Auditorium. He was told by soldiers not to flash the sign again, which has become a symbol of anti-coup activists.

 

Another red activist, Sombat Boonngamanong, was taken to the Army Auditorium yesterday from an Army barracks in Chon Buri, where he was found and detained last week. He will later be prosecuted through a military court after serving a seven-day detention, starting today at a location in Bangkok.

 

Sutthichai Sungkamanee, director-general of the Revenue Department, said those who ignored NCPO summonses would also face probes by his agency as well as the National Anti-Money Laundering Office and the Office of the Narcotics Control Board

NCPO to ask foreign govts to extradite lese-majeste offenders

BANGKOK, 10 June 2014 (NNT) - The National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) has requested the British government to extradite a Thai woman facing a lese-majeste charge while looking into a possibility of lifting curfews in Bangkok and Chiang Mai.

Deputy Army Spokesperson Colonel Winthai Suwaree stated that the Army would take serious action against three Thai nationals who have refused to report to the NCPO. Among those on the NCPO’s want-list are Miss Chatwadee Amornpat, Mr. Chakrapop Penkae, former Spokesperson for the Prime Minister’s Office and Mr. Sunai Julapongsatorn, former Pheu Thai party-list MP.

Ms. Chatwadee, aka “Roseâ€, was found guilty of committing lese-majeste and is now hiding in the United Kingdom, Colonel Winthai said, adding that the NCPO has requested the British government to extradite her to Thailand.

Colonel Winthai also announced that the Army would consider lifting curfews in certain areas, especially at some spots in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. However, the NCPO would still enforce the curfew nationwide, as war weapons were still detected at various areas. Under the martial law, Col Winthai said soldiers were able to perform their duties more efficiently. Nonetheless, the NCPO believed that everything would return to normal soon but was still unable to provide a definite answer on when it would lift the curfew nationwide.

"...An ultra-royalist Thai in the UK, who calls himself DJ Ken and works for Thai Square Putney Bridge, films himself brandishing a gun outside the London home of Chatwadee Rose Amornpat, and vandalizing her front door by painting the Thai flag on it. It was the second attempt this week to intimidate Rose — a Thai woman called Kae Kanyarat threatened to attack her at her home a few days ago, and like DJ Ken was stupid enough to upload video of her antics to social media. Ken and Kae now both face arrest by the British police, and the international image of the Thai monarchy has been further damaged..."

Andrew Marshall again. The guy deliberately got himself banned from Thailand by his own lese majeste statements, and now he says the royalists are "out of control" in London because two pissed off Thais went after "Rose". The impression I get seems to be that that most Thais feel "Rose" made her comments to attract attention to herself. She certainly accomplished that. I read in one paper that her own parents reported her to the police - no doubt to protect themselves from her statements.

 

p.s. All right, Marshall. Tell how the actions of two individuals have damaged the "international reputation of the Thai monarchy". Marshall is the guy who posted a photo of a whistle blower who had lost both hands. Marshall hilariously captioned the photo - "The invisible hands of the PDRC". He obviously hasn't learned anything after being fired for Reuters for making a similar "joke" in bad taste during Japan's major earthquake.

Thais think that because there is such a thing as International Law, that this means that Thai Law is International.

 

Or more simply, except exceptionally, most Thais are as thick as two short planks.

Rose is a British citizen so is unlikely to be sent back to Thailand. What she has written is libellous so the way to shut her up is to sue her for libel in a British court. That's if the Thai authorities believe they can demonstrate that what she said was untrue.
