Attitude camps, course and detainee lists readied

"Re-education" camps for seven-day attitude adjustment courses

 for frequent government critics have been prepared nationwide

 and a list of potential detainees has been compiled, according

 to the army chief.

The expanded course was aimed at people who were still
unable to understand the workings of the government and
 the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO),
Gen Theerachai Nakvanich said in Samut Prakan on Friday.

A list of potential "trainees" had been compiled and they were
familiar faces who were demonstrating and expressing
 political opinions, said Gen Theerachai, who is also the
 NCPO secretary-general.

 

"Training venues" were ready nationwide, including sites

 in the southern border provinces of Pattani and Yala, he said

 during a visit to a mangrove reforestation project at the army's

Bang Poo seaside resort.

Earlier this week, Prime Minister and NCPO chief

Prayut Chan-o-cha said he wanted a more effective

 "training course" about ethics, morality and good governance

 for critics.

 His comments followed the detention of two Pheu Thai Party

politicians, Worachai Hema and Watana Muangsook, who

have repeatedly criticised the government and the new

draft constitution.

Since it took power in May 2014, the military has called in

hundreds of political figures and activists for

"attitude adjustment" sessions at military camps.

Most of those who have spoken about their experiences say

 they were treated well and the discussions with military men

were cordial. Generally, they are released on condition that

they desist from further activity, but some get called back for

 more talks because they do not abide by that condition.

The expansion of the attitude adjustment programme follows

 a move by the junta to grant expanded police powers to soldiers.

The NCPO has said the police are overburdened and need help

 in cracking down on the thousands of people it has identified

 in an anti-crime and corruption drive.

However, critics of the plan have expressed concern that instead

 of rounding up the likes of loan sharks and drug dealers,

soldiers will be pressed into service to detain ordinary citizens

 who hold views at odds with those of the government.

News,Politics,Bangkok Post, 1April 2016.

For 83 years democracy in Thailand since 1932,there are

13 coups. The repeated cycle of  coup and election happened

 because bad and corrupt  politicians made the country

into crisis situation.The past government never feel shame

of what they did to people and the country.

 

Hope “Re-education” camp and attitude adjustment

course help the bad attitude critics to understand what the

 Prayut government try to do for the country and how they

can help our country to reform and pass “this period” to

the new election together.

 

Sincerely Yours.
