Absolutely - blatant criminal trespass IMHO Really?.... I thought the Finance Ministry was a public building? So I doubt trespass is totally valid. Especially as the occupancy was peaceful. It's not exactly like the red shirts would have done it though. They would be leaving the building in flames. If there is any criminal activity coming out of this, it is the Yingluck goons (probably Thaksin) who have extended the ISA to cover all BKK and it environs in a bid to block the people's constitutional right to peaceful protest. More crime against the constitution and the people's rights. A lot more damning than a peaceful sit in at a public building if you ask me.

gerry1011 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I would let them pack their things... and escort them to the closest prison If this is the "educated middle class" of Bangkok, seizing government offices, promoting the mob rule and supporting the toppling of democracy... They better be sent away for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tingtongteesood Posted November 26, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2013 And did you say the same when the Reds were burning down buildings 3 years ago ? Arson is a real crime, a quiet and peaceful sit in is at worst a nuisance... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spare Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 "Some 300 protesters entered the compound last night with unclear demand...." I think the demand from Suthep is very clear.

Sure, the public can enter (parts of the) ministries during the day, but even public buildings have opening hours. Try to stay when after 5 pm (or whatever) - that's trespassing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entered during opening hours and stayed only in public designated areas so you can't get done for trespass if already there lawfully even if you decide not to leave. Other laws will apply though.

Thai at Heart Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Indeed, i would think that pressing charges against this lot for trespass which might mean sitting on the grass hardly merits it. However, what were those pictures of people sitting in some meeting chambers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, what were those pictures of people sitting in some meeting chambers? Unlawful entry at best unless the chambers were broken into to gain entry. Now that would be a serious crime.

Merit or not you can't be done for trespass if you were at some point lawfully able to enter. Trespass is the crime of 'passing into' a restricted (in this case) area but if someone is already there when the rules change they have not 'passed into'. In the outside grounds it would be considered 'maybe' something like unlawful occupation which I doubt would carry more than a 100 Baht fine. So long as they keep it peaceful and don't resist arrest then no big deal. Edited November 26, 2013 by notmyself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
