A group of former and present students of the faculty of journalism and mass communication at Thammasat University on Thursday submitted a letter to the university rector to investigate and take legal and disciplinary action against the lecturers comprising the Nitirat group.
They called during a rally for members of the Thammsat community to oppose Nitirat's proposal for the amendment of Section 112 of the Criminal Code, for the university to launch a legal and disciplinary investigation of the seven law lecturers, for the mass media to exercise discretion in presenting information on the proposed amendment, and for people in all walks of life to oppose any move deemed insulting to the monarchy.
