Difficult to understand what is going on in Thailand!

After the incidence of "Area Squeezing" by the "Professional Military", and no-confidence debate from May 19 to June 3.2010, Thailand still in the gloomy vironment. It is clear that corruption is banal in coalition government but nothing happens. There is no public response against the vehemently illegal conducts regarding the "Area Squeezing" measure which is explicitly incongruent with the international standards, including the convention on Civil Rights and Political Rights, U.N. Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Officials, including the Rule of Engagement. No law enforcement official can use "Live Bullet" filed to the demonstration, even in the fake "emergency situation," except for very limited reason such as "self-defense."

Thailand faced the intellectual crisis about the public demonstration and freedom of speech after April 7, 2010. The government declared the situation of emergency so that they can apply the "special law" to control public gathering of anti-government protestors. In fact, the government has no enough reason to declare it, and thus unconstitutionally applied practice under the U.S. Judicial Review standard.

Public gathering is the fundamental rights which cannot be violate except in the war crime and some special situation. Application the law aiming at only war crime such as the Special law is unacceptable and illegitimate!

The result of the 88 deaths and over 2,000 injures demonstrated that there was no any dangerous weapon in their hands! But the government accused them as "Terrorists", which should be the person who act" the unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons." There is no proof what they are -- only freedom fighther or terrorist. The fact is that the omni-potent goverment, who control military, and all state agencies, become the winer; they can write, speak and commit anything. What happens after the incidence of dispersion on May 19, 2010; the deaths were going on in Wat Pratum-wanaram, a Budha Temple, nearby protesting site. The six persons, including the medical volunteer personnel, were shot to die from somewhere which the eye-witness confirm that were shot from the Sky train where only the military can control it!

There are many depressing events going on in BKK and other area, after the government action to control demontration. Violence is commonplace. However, it seems that nobody in BKK wants to analize why the bad result occured and what government should be responsible for the deaths and injures which never happen in the history of Thailand! WTH!
