One of the panel members claims that the special House committee that is working on an amnesty bill for political prisoners is divided on whether or not to include offences under Section 112, the lese-majeste law ( LM) and Section 110 of the Criminal Code.
Part 110 involves murder or attempted crime against the Queen, heir-apparent or king.
Nikorn Chamnong, the agency’s secretary, said no conclusion was reached at this year’s meeting according to cut thoughts, so the committee agreed to postpone the problem. But, he said the thoughts of each council member will be provided in its review statement to the House of Representatives.
According to Mr Nikorn, there are three camps: one wants those crimes excluded, another favours their participation, and the second is calling for them to get included under specific circumstances. He claimed that the restoration of their rights will be the next item on the agenda. Before the end of this month, the council is expected to complete its investigation.
Following opposition to a bill sponsored by the main opposition Movement Forward Party ( MFP), the 35-member panel was established early this year on the recommendation of the ruling Pheu Thai Party to conduct a thorough analysis of the amnesty proposal.
The People’s Alliance for Democracy ( PAD ) held its first protest against the Thaksin administration on February 11, 2006, and the amnesty would cover all cases involving politically motivated crimes. The MFP-backed costs, according to critics, intended to impose a blanket amnesty on der minorities and raise concerns that it could lead to a significant political conflict.
Mass demonstrations erupted as a result of Pheu Thai’s earlier campaign to complete a blanket amnesty rules during the Yingluck Shinawatra management. It was perceived as a legal attempt to cover up the death of Thaksin Shinawatra, her older sibling.
