The
Baião Akahad held and other relatives of victims of the crackdown in
2010 told a news conference yesterday to express their opposition to the
new version of the draft amnesty law, which seeks to grant a blanket
amnesty to all parties.
The
group said the defendants with violations should be subject to
investigation and according to the rule of law, regardless of whether
they belong to the government or the opposition. However, ordinary demonstrators deserved to be released on bail during the legal process.
"[By
the Audit Committee has proved to amend the draft law to Thai Pheu not
party to listen to the voices of the people, especially those of the
relatives of the victims who are directly affected," and Baião said.
She
said this confirms the belief that the ruling party will do what it can
to help the fugitive former PM Thaksin Shinawatra to return home. She
on the other hand, the opposition leader Abhisit Vejjajiva, who was the
evening at the time of the campaign, and has then Suthep Thawgesopan
deputy ready to face legal action.
The group plans to submit a letter opposing the bill to parliament on Thursday.
Separately,
he said Pheu Thai MP Wong Tojirakarn, who is also the leader of the red
shirts, yesterday he and the red shirts were opposed to a blanket
amnesty proposal. However,
he believes that the ruling party eventually pass the original version
of the bill Worachai MP Hema as it has no choice but to respond to the
demands of the red-shirt people. He added that differed several Pheu Thai MPs also with a copy of the screening panel of the bill.
"We must Thai Pheu respect the party will of the red shirts, but I do not know what will happen," he said.
At
the same time, he said Pheu Thai MP Chavalit Vichayasuthi it was not
true that the new version of the bill would help Thaksin to recover his
money. He
is designed to grant amnesty justice in the wake of a coup in 2006, he
said, adding that the bill was based on a similar law enacted after
October 14, 1973 uprising.
Chavalit
said grant amnesty to people involved in the incidents were politically
motivated and in accordance with international legal practice.
Also yesterday, Abhisit said the Commission should examine suspiciously brought its made by a week to this Thursday. "This restructuring is a clear sign that the government wants to cut short the screening process," said Abhisit.
He
said he will be denied the opposition enough time to express dissenting
opinions draft provisions designed to benefit Thaksin.
And
Pheu said the Thai MP Samart Kaewmechai, in his capacity as Chairman of
the Committee that he had no intentions of rushing in the audit
process. He
said he just happened that all relevant documents are ready early,
allowing team members to comment on the provisions examined by reserving
their right to speak on the floor.
He
said he expected that the team has held two additional meetings before a
bill is ready for the second reading early next month.
Samart
also said the draft provisions focus only on granting amnesty to those
involved in the political chaos and failure to address the issue of Bt46
billion of Thaksin's assets that have been seized by the court. He said that if Thaksin wants to recover his money, he is obliged to seek judicial review after the amnesty.
"I
do not think that the government will collapse because of the amnesty
law, although I am concerned that the protests at the instigation may be
a pretext to pave the way for another coup," he said.
Said
Democratic Rep. Nipit Intarasombat he expects some 100,000 protesters
to take to the streets when holding the House of Representatives for the
second and third readings of the bill. He said the amnesty debate might take place around 6 November.
The
deputy spokesman for the opposition the Sunisa Lertpakawat government
to stop attacking the PM Yingluck Shinawatra regarding the draft amnesty
law because it has nothing to do with it.
