Angkhana: Military must admit mistake

Angkhana Neelapaijit, chairwoman of the Justice for Peace Foundation, on Tuesday called on Deputy Prime Minister Yutthasak Sasiprapa to show responsibility for giving incorrect information on Sunday's shooting incident in Pattani in which four people were killed and five others injured.

Ms Angkhana said Gen Yutthasak said in an interview on Monday that those killed and wounded in the shooting were believed to have caused unrest despite the fact that they were villagers who were on the way to prayers at a funeral.

She said the shooting took place on the route they were taking. A survivor said when their pick-up truck arrived at the checkpoint (at Ban Kayi) no security officials showed up to conduct a search but the vehicle suddenly came under fire, causing deaths and injuries.

Sooner or Later the patience of Thai people will call the Military for a Coup.. this PT government is only a Self Serving People.

The history will repeat itself. War on Drugs (Mr. Chalerm will beat thaksins 2500) The Takbai massaker will be beaten by this PT led Government.

The military does as it pleases in Thailand and any government that would try to hold it responsible in a court of law would be silenced through intimidation and/or back room deals and if that did not work, then another coup.

The PTP has already sold out to the generals and it is probably too late to alter the future if this country led by its nose by the men in uniform who are convinced they are the only ones able to see what is best for the people and the nation.

Thailand is almost finished now as a hope of being a regional democratic model. It has become evident the farce will continue.
