 supposed to be non-political as a privy councilor, coup opponents blast the 86-year-old for a series of speeches he gave a year ago in which he donned full military garb and said soldiers should be loyal to the king instead of the government. Many observers said the speeches set the stage for the coup.
The Irrawaddy (July 23, 2007) carried a report that royalists declared Thaksin behind the UDD. The then president of the Constitution Drafting Committee Prasong Soonsiri, cheered the arrests, saying: “He [Thaksin] is probably responsible for supporting the clash, and he won’t stop there…”. This was a widely held view among the military-installed regime led by former Privy Councillor Gen Surayud Chulanont.
During a protest by the Democratic Alliance Against Dictatorship (DADD) at the home of Privy Council President Prem Tinsulanonda in the Thewes district of Bangkok, there occurred violent clashes between police and demonstrators. Alleging the part played by General Prem in organizing the military coup of 19th September 2006, protestors called for his resignation. As a result of the clashes which took place in the late evening of Sunday 22nd July, according to news media, 106 persons were injured.
The Union for Civil Liberty (UCL) maintains that the holding of non-violent protest to make known a political viewpoint is a civil right and a fundamental component of the democratic system. It is the duty of government to assure that the right of citizens to exercise this right is respected at all times, whether their action is against or in support of government, or to express other political opinion.
It is a matter of great regret that the protest on 22nd July last could not enjoy such a right to free expression due to the action of the police in blocking the protest march to the residence of General Prem in the Thewes district. The action angered some participants in the protest leading to the use of force and many casualties both among the protestors and the police.
1. Appoint a committee of persons acceptable to the public to investigate the events which occurred on the evening of the 22nd July for presentation to the Government and to the public.
2. Take court action against those who have acted illegally, whether the police or the protestors, in order that justice be done and human rights be protected.
So, for seeking to exercise their freedom of expression, these men are jailed. The regime that went after them was a junta-appointed administration that was vehemently royalist and anti-Thaksin. The double standards are as clear as they ever were.
Update: For another take on double standards, especially in comparing red shirts and yellow shirts, read this op-ed.
Thailand’s great and good want to obliterate the leadership of Future Forward. These upstarts are considered threats to the status quo who must be destroyed.
A few days ago it was reported that Future Forward’s former spokesperson Pannika Wanich, hated by the elite, is to be hit with lese majeste-like computer crimes law.
Last Friday she fronted inspectors of the Technology Crime Suppression Division, “accused of violating Section 14 (2) of the Computer Crime Act, which prohibits the publication of false information that could affect national security.” In other words, the monarchy.
Meanwhile, junta puppet and tool of the military-backed regime the Election Commission has decided to lay criminal charges against former Future Forward leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit.

The EC accuses him of “applying to be an MP candidate knowing he was not qualified” under Section 151 of the 2018 MP Election Act.” This is the ludicrous case over buffalo manure “media” ownership.
Both cases are, like everything else judicial under the junta/post-junta regime, a political stitch-up. How much more of this manure can they pile up? This nonsense has been going on for years now. It’s corrupt and it has made the judiciary a processing terminal for the ruling elite.
He points out the dire consequences of this politicization of the judiciary and points out the gross double standards involved.

}Can we create a new system of manufacturing by utilizing autonomous mobility?
While the needs of consumers have become diverse, unique new products are being created by utilizing the 3D printer and other new production methods, as well as new funding schemes such as cloud funding. The starting point of manufacturing will shift from big companies which mass-produces products systematically to consumers having diverse needs. However, the conventional production system is limited in its capacity for such new products in order to satisfy huge demand. How can we ensure the steady distribution of such products for consumers?
Here we propose a production system that forms a network to connect small-scale producers. Through the network, the producers can share facilities and technologies when necessary. We also propose a distribution system utilizing autonomous mobility that accurately and very frequently deliver goods from factory to factory.
While the combination of producers changes in various ways, factories are connected seamlessly for the right items to be delivered at the right time. Small factories can thus quickly respond to diverse needs and ever-changing demand.
Here is an example of the customized production of a wheelchair. Devices need more diverse customization according to personal physical characteristics and the purpose of use. In order to add new functions and ensure maintenance, the need for such IoT technologies as sensors will increase. By encouraging the participation of producers possessing IoT and other new technologies in the network, more products that meet diverse needs will be produced.
When factories share production methods, processes and progress, goods will be delivered between factories at an optimal timing, thus alleviating the concerns of producers about distribution. And when small factories can minimize their inventory of parts to the level seen in the system adopted by big factories, the factories can participate in the network of new production even without having a big space for inventory.
