Hej
Fler Människorätts grupper fördömer Juntans beslut att ersätta Undantagstillståndet med Artikel 44 som anses öppna för ren diktatur.
Den här gången är det Human Rights Lawyers Association (HRLA och Union of Civil Liberty (UCL) som står för kritiken.

Human rights groups condemn junta’s new power tool

Human rights groups denounced the Thai junta’s new law which broadens its authority in all branches of governance, saying that it is against democracy and human rights.
On 7 April 2015, Human Rights Lawyers Association (HRLA) together with networks of pro-democracy law academics, lawyers, and community activists from southern Thailand issued a public statement against the junta’s National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) Order No. 3/2015, which replaced the martial law with Section 44 of the Interim Charter in the name of national security.
About 130 people from various organisations, such as Union of Civil Liberty (UCL) and Network of Southern Thailand’s Academics for Society and Community, signed the letter to confirm the statement against the junta’s new power tool and urge the regime to revoke the law.
The statement pointed out that the invocation of Section 44 goes against the division of governance under the democratic system and principles of human rights.
“Granting the NCPO authorities over legislative, executive, and judicial branches of governance is a complete integration of power which is against the separation of state authority to balance and prevent the abuse of power of the rulers,” stated the letter.
