As reported previously, the military in Thailand is continuing to extend its rule over all aspects of Thai society. This week, another four anti coup activists were arrested, while at the same time the military was intimidating villagers who were opposed to an oil company conducting drilling on their lands. It is becoming clear that the military junta is trying to clear the decks to make sure that whenever the next election is called, only pro military parties will be able to win. The campaign to neutralise the Thaksin family is in order to remove a capitalist competitor and not because they are revolutionaries. In the meantime, opposition to the coup continues to be visible, whether at stadiums or in the streets.
No to the military!
Free all political prisoners!
