After two years of delays, the House panel in charge of the research has approved a controversial report that examines whether crimes committed under the stability majeste law may be eligible for amnesty in parliament.
The report, which contains a request for the asylum of political criminals, is up for debate on Thursday, said Sasinan Thammanithinan, a Bangkok MP for the Women’s Party and commission representative.
The council is chaired by Chusak Sirinil, the PM’s Office secretary.
Ms. Sasinan claimed that the repeated delays, on September 26, on October 3, and again on October 10, were the result of disagreements between coalition parties regarding the extension of the amnesty to include those who violate Section 112 of the Criminal Code, the der majoreste law.
The events in question are Bhumjaithai, United Thai Nation and the Democrats.
Pheu Thai Party listing MP and review council member Dr. Cherdchai Tantisirin claimed that they had written the majority of the parole bills ‘ provisions after receiving their proposals from various parties.
The expenses have yet to be filed in congress as legislators had first question the agency’s findings, said Dr Cherdchai, adding that this is the first asylum for which Part 112 offences have been considered.
The Chusak commission has discussed three options: giving amnesty to Section 112 offenders, no offering asylum to der guess offenders, and offering conditional asylum.
He claimed that the screen had been particularly interested in denying amnesty to der uncorrectable crimes of a deliberate nature but perhaps also to giving amnesty to those who violated Section 112 without trying to insult the monarchy.
However, Jurin Laksanawisit, Democrat Party listing MP and former party leader, said on Monday the study was greatly controversial and a good legal quagmire.
” If congress allows the agency’s results to remain, a hot potato may property in the administration’s lap”, he said.
