Thailand’s military junta increasingly targeting workers

The military regime in Thailand has now entered its second year and it is showing no signs of giving up power.

The ministry stated that the current wage of 300 baht per day (~AUS $11) is not appropriate. This announcement needs to be viewed as part of the continuing crackdown against any form of public dissent or even of social activities that are deemed immoral by the conservative and nationalist coup leaders.

Abolish Article 112!
