Villagers from Bang Khai district in Rayong yesterday filed a petition against the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand's plans to construct a new industrial estate in the area.
In the petition, they said that the plan affected the rights, freedom and dignity of local residents and violated Articles 66 and 67 of the Constitution and demanded that it be cancelled.
Srettha Pitutecha and Suthi Atchasai, coordinator of the Eastern People's Network, led a group of 20 villagers to file the complaint at the Rayong Administrative Court. Srisuwan Janya, president of Stop Global Warming Association, was also present.
