A unique House committee is urging the government to decide whether to include those who allegedly violated the country’s “lese qualifications” law after Netiporn” Bung” Saneysangkhom passed.

On Friday, Nikorn Jamnong, the chairman of the House subcommittee tasked with studying data and statistics related to politically motivated cases, told reporters that the meeting covered a number of topics, most notably the request from Thalufah ( Through the Sky ), a political organization, to include those found guilty under Section 112 of the Criminal Code in the amnesty law.

The conversation included the Netiporn’s death investigation, Section 112, postponing legal proceedings, and the asylum act itself.

As such, the description, including views of the House committee, may get submitted to the government.

The majority of the House commission believed an asylum section should be established, he said. The sub-committee may examine and categorize actions before presenting them to the principal House committee for a ballot on whether the screen should serve as an administrative body next Thursday.

If the amnesty bill is brought up during the regular session, house loudspeaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha said parliament is prepared to organize.

Move Forward Party ( MFP ) leader Chaithawat Tulathon claimed that the special House committee is considering issues that need to be addressed to the government. One of them is the issue of the transfer of political prisoners.

The top previously stated that some social criminal cases are matters that must be decided by a court, but if the state has a distinct legislation aimed at restoring the rule of law and political conflict resolution, the government can deal with the court to come up with a joint solution.

Additionally, Mr. Chaithawat pressed for social campaigners to have a right to bail. He claimed that the right to loan can be established with the officers, but lately they have stopped allowing bail and holding those who are accused of breaking Section 112 when they are summoned. Since the police are straight under the premier’s control, the top may have a clear plan for how the police will determine whether to grant bail in this type of cases.

Mr. Chaithawat insisted that the MFP had previously encouraged her to start the hunger strike in relation to Netiporn’s passing. The MFP, according to him, attempted to persuade environmentalist Tantawan Tuatulanon to put an end to her hunger attack.
