This is three to 15 years in prison, the same rate as the basis for organizing a conspiracy and the same rate as for murder.

Ms. Amarat said that this high rate She attended a meeting with several police officers and found that the investigator issued a subpoena without weight. Defective There are no clear and complete elements of the case. It was a subpoena that was interpreted too much of the law. Causing criticism that it was a distribution of cases to silence people who disagreed with the government AND unlike the current authority only to comply with the announcement of the Prime Minister At the beginning of the month Last November all laws will be used To deal with the mob that kicked them out Raising criticism from the international community Including the United Nations High Commissioner Issued a statement calling on Thailand to stop using Section 112 with peaceful protesters And expressed serious concern about the introduction of the Section 112 for minors under the age of 16 “.

“I urge The police commander reviews the attitude when issuing a subpoena to the defendant under article 112, requesting a more complete trial. He shall issue a summons that is justified. He must not cooperate with law enforcement authorities to eliminate dissent. And doing so would create endless divisions among the people and not benefit the monarchy. Also, it will cause Section 112 to deteriorate, “said Ms Amarat.
