Seripisuth orders website probe


From : Bangkok Post

Acting national police chief Seripisuth Temiyavej has ordered an investigation into a website which is trying to gather signatures to petition for the removal of Gen Prem Tinsulanonda as president of the Privy Council. The acting police chief said Gen Prem cannot be removed by such a petition as his post was not political in nature and he was installed in that position by His Majesty the King.

.........In last year , PAD , academics and Politicians tried to petition ask for the King to give the new PM (Its mean decommission Thaksin), but his majesty refused. I remembered nobody criticized to these action even police , military or media. Someone told Its so beautiful action in democracy way...ha ha.... But now , its change to opposite. This 's real double standard.
.........for Gen. Seripisut , He changed his first and last name by the reason of Chinese fortune , yes, he always change very fast.

Opponents of the Sept 19 coup d'etat, who accuse Gen Prem of masterminding the putsch that toppled Thaksin Shinawatra from power, are trying to collect 100,000 signatures to petition for his removal. The signature collection campaign began on Friday during a protest outside City Hall led by a group of former Thai Rak Thai politicians wanting to establish the satellite-based PTV television station.

Pol Gen Seripisuth has assigned Special Branch police to browse through http://www.saturdaynews.org/ (Its was blocked by ICT and you can't visit to it also because they were bawled out collapse...ha ha...) for any statements that might be considered to be lese majeste.
Special Branch police chief Theeradet Rodphothong said yesterday that the website's content, as far as he knew, does not contain any statements deemed lese majeste. However, such a signature campaign is not appropriate as it may sow divisions in society, he said.
Songkhla Mayor Uthit Choochuai, a leading supporter of Gen Prem in the province, said he and his big group of supporters are not planning to travel to Bangkok to show support to the statesman, a native of Songkhla, because they do not want to plunge the country into deeper chaos.

.........So , He would not read this comment form the officer of special branch police..... Police have rejected an appeal to charge activists, who launched a website to collect signatures in a bid to oust Privy Council President Prem Tinsulanonda, for insulting the monarchy, the head of the Special Branch said yesterday (The Nation). The lese majeste law could not protect Gen. Prem or members of Privy council.....

However, if the coup opponents continue to show disrespect to Gen Prem, the southerners could have a change of heart, Mr Uthit said.

He said people in the Northeast, particularly in Khon Kaen, had also expressed their dissatisfaction with the anti-coup demonstrators for demanding that Gen Prem step down.
Sonthiya Sawasdi and Prachak Satsue, Prachakorn Thai party executives, yesterday lodged a police complaint with the Crime Suppression Bureau against the rally participants and the signature campaign seeking Gen Prem's removal.

.......It 's absolute stupid propaganda , In this time everybody claim people falsely. I don't know when they have checked their people 's comment.

In a related development, Council for National Security (CNS) chief Sonthi Boonyaratkalin admitted yesterday that it would be difficult to find the needed evidence to take legal action against those providing financial backing to the organisers of the ongoing rallies.
He also dismissed talk that he has locked horns with the prime minister.

CNS deputy chief Chalit Phukphasuk is not the least bit worried by the rallies against the CNS and the government.

''It was natural for rally organisers to try to gain voter sympathy before the elections,'' ACM Chalit Phukphasuk said.

He brushed aside concern that the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD)'s plan to go back to staging rallies would disrupt public order and create the kind of situation that prevailed before the Sept 19 coup. The CNS will meet today to discuss measures to deal with the demonstrations, he said.

Meanwhile, PTV executives Chatuporn Prompan and Jakrapob Penkair yesterday filed a police complaint accusing Sondhi Limthongkul, the Manager website and Alongkorn Ponlabutr, Democrat party's deputy leader, of defaming them by linking their names to the signature campaign against Gen Prem.

Mr Chatuporn said the PTV operators will hold another anti-coup rally at Sanam Luang this Sunday.

..........Its idiot case , If they think when they arrest these activists that can be stop everything at all , I don't think like that , opposite , Its accelerate the confusion to the blood chaos faster. Good luck Thailand , for they have got a stupid rules.
But I have known the one thing that for this crisis , WWW were used to be power machine for attack or counter attack by political factions or people activity groups at all. It 's much more than WWW 's war between Arab and Western. Its can used to built the allignment , unsure that its may be use to topple military tyrannical junta its the first time of the world , if they sucess its make history.
