In what seems to be nothing other than a witch hunt against a small group of people who hold a political ideology seen as unorthodox in Thailand, the military junta has set a bad precedent and made an unjust move in slapping severe criminal charges against four people, who are alleged to have promoted the political concept through the distribution of T-shirts.
Since last week, two men, identified by their first names as Krisana and Somsak, and two women, Praphan and Wannapa, have been arrested and charged with sedition and running an illegal secret organisation, according to the Thai Lawyers for Human Rights Centre. Two of them have been granted bail while the others remain in detention.
More recently, soldiers arrested another woman, Jinda Achariyasilp, in Chon Buri on Wednesday.
