in Washington last Thursday.In its compemdium of
reports of countries around the world,the US State
Department chronicles the sweeping changes imposed
by the military,detailing the numerous decrees severely
limitary civil liberties,including restriction on freedom
of speech,freedom of assembly,and freedom of the press.
In preface to the report,the Secretary of State,Mr John
Kerry placed Thailand alongside Chaina,Egypt,Iran,
Russia and Saudi Arabia as countries that were stifling
the development of civil society.
The report states no outright opinion or jugemnet,
in fact,in introducing the report,Mr John Kerry said
it was not intened to be “sanctimonious” as every
country,including the United States,had room for
Improvement.
The report notes that,since the coup,on May 22,
900 political leaders,academics and journalists have been
temporily
detained.At the same time ,the US noted the
marked increase in lese majeste case brought under
Section 112 of the Criminal Code for defaming
the monarchy.
A large percent of the report was dedicated to the
continuing
strife in the three Southermost provinces.
In the far South,”emergency decree provisions make it very
difficult to challenge a detention
before a court”, the report
concludes.
Police and military abuses got special attention,with
the
report’s authors citing specific cases of alleged,torture,
including the case of two Myanmar men accused of the
murder and rape of two British backpackers on Koh Tao
in September.
The system for issuing arrest warrants was subject to
misuse by police as well as a judicial tendency to
approve automatically all requestes for warrants,
the State Department said.
The US also highlights numerous cases in which Thai
police allegedly use torture to coerce confessions and
took particular note of the near daily re-enactments
suspects are forced to perform in front of media and
the public.
Once criminal suspects pass through polices stations,
human rights problem continue,the US said in the report.
Finally ,the report makes special note of the increase
in prosecutions under the lese majestic law,noting
“international and domestic human right organization
and academics expression.The US said it was listing
human rights concerns even as nongovernment
organizations in Thailand have been impeded in
their efforts to address them under the junta.
Thailand certainly was not alone in being criticized
by the US report for human rights abuses,with Chaina,
Myanmar,Cuba and Iran targeted with more –pointed
comments.
In my viewpoint,
1.Freedom of speech ,we still have freedom of speech
add that only make it does not make conflict more to
the society.
2.Freedeom of assembly,entertainment in community
still can do but there is prohibit to gathering for
political activity.
3.Freedom of the press,we still can publish what we
think people should know only to avoid making more
controversial to harm the society.
4.About lese majestic is illegal in Thailand and everyone
must obey the law because the King is love by every
Thai people who love the country and want the unity
and progress to the country.
5.About the tortured by the police,there is still has
done
by bad police but in my believe there are so many good
police s that doing well and want to stop this harm process.
6.About ,military abuses,infact soildiers provide many
good things to the country.In my believe there is no
military abuses in Thailand.They are always in
rule and if there is someone who doing wrong things,
he must found guilty and punish by the law.
Hope it is useful for everyone to understand Thailand
in the present situation more.
Sincerely Yours.
