Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has stressed the need to retain the state of emergency enforcement to maintain peace and order in the country despite demands by many organisations to revoke the special law.
Thailand’s National News Bureau of Thailand (NNT) on June 13 quoted the prime minister as saying the government has the responsibility to ensure peace and stability, and the situation still prompts the state of emergency to remain. He personally believed that the majority of people would be affected if another rally was held.
This was also the reason why all forms of media ranging from print, radio, television, to the internet should be regulated, said the Prime Minister.
According to NNT, many organisations, including the National Human Rights Commission, the Amnesty International, as well as the opposition Puea Thai Party, have been requesting the Thai government to put an end to the state of emergency enforcement due to human rights violation concerns.
The prime minister said the requests of those organisations reflected their standpoints but the Thai government must also perform its duties./.
