Khon Kaen Deputy Governor Phanthep Saokosol has had 100 soldiers and police officers ring the Democracy Monument downtown in case protests erupt as feared when the Constitutional Court’s verdict on the fate of the Future Forward Party is announced in Bangkok on Friday (February 21).

 

Phanthep acknowledged there would be nothing wrong with a political demonstration taking place there as long as laws are not violated.

 

Anyone organising a demonstration must allow security forces to maintain order, he said.

 

It was in the urban downtown of neighbouring Nakhon Ratchasima province that a rogue soldier unleased a mass shooting on February 8-9 that left 29 people and himself dead.

 

Phanthep said he wanted no harm to come to the people of his province.

I hope that if dissolution is the decision, that this gets good exposure all around the globe. If that hurts tourism, so be it, the Army government owns the outcome.

I really hope they have the intelligence not to do it.
If this happens, the north and NE of Thailand will again ignite;
not sure they go down to challenge the "yellows" in Bangkok;
they will find other more subtle and especially less bloody means.

disorder happens when a government is afraid of the voice of the people.

Even more when they try do suppress the voice of the people, be it by force or by abuse of the judicial system

 

This lead to many revolutions that paved the way to democracy

I'm reminded of the Cambodian model of democracy and remain sceptical. Thailand's goose is cooked.
