The United Front of Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD) will encourage the new government to take action against outgoing Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and his deputy Suthep Thaugsuban for the military crackdown order against the UDD last year.
Acting UDD Chairperson Thida Thavornsret on Monday travelled to the Bangkok Remand Prison to give moral support to now detained UDD key leaders Jatuporn Prompan and Nisit Sinthuprai after the Pheu Thai Party enjoyed a landslide victory in the 3 July general election.
There were about 500 UDD supporters accompanying Ms Thida to the prison. They then sang a song together for the detainees and congratulated Mr Jatuporn, one of the Pheu Thai party-listed MP candidates, before leaving the prison.
Speaking after her visit, Ms Thida stated that she came to inform Mr Jatuporn and Mr Nisit about the election result. She told the press that Mr Jatuporn was very delighted and regarded the landslide victory a success of the UDD after the long political struggle.
Ms Thida noted that after the Election Commission (EC) has certified victory of MP candidates, and the new government is formed, the UDD will proceed with the mission to call for justice for 91 people killed and 2,000 others injured in the military crackdown against the UDD in summer last year.
Ms Thida stressed that outgoing Prime Minister Abhisit, his deputy Suthep and all members in the Centre for the Resolution of Emergency Situation (CRES) must be responsible for making the military crackdown order and all the losses.
