Political Violence Fact-Finding Panel Chairperson Kanit Na Nakorn has voiced his readiness to continue the operation of his panel after receiving green-light signal from the prospective prime minister, and said the new government is giving importance to national reconciliation.
Prof Dr Kanit at the same time denied that his panel had worked slowly in the past, saying the team had to work amid continuing political conflicts. He said that now that people have sent signals for national reconciliation, his panel will start supplying academic information and proposals to related sides to bring peace to the society.
Incoming Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra on Monday announced that national reconciliation is the first mission of her government as she has given a green light to Dr Kanit’s panel to continue working for national peace while promising that she will not meddle in the operation.
Prof Dr Kanit then stressed that his panel used to make eight proposals, especially about unnecessary detention of people taking part in the gathering of more than ten persons. In his opinion, prosecution on such case can be withdrawn or dropped.
Regarding an amnesty for ex-Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, another member of the Political Violence Fact-Finding Panel Somchai Homla-or stated that everything would be easy after people were reconciled; however, he noted that the amnesty is not within the responsibilities of his panel.
