TRCT suggests creation of a public platform to avoid further violence

The Truth for Reconciliation Commission of Thailand has suggested creating a public platform for rival sides to air differing views in a bid to quell mutual suspicion and political violence.
“The public platform, accessible by all sides, will allow for the exchange of differing ideas without resorting to violence,” TRCT member Kittipong Kittayarak said Friday.
Kittipong said he viewed the physical assault against Nitirat leader Worachet Pakeerut, who was spearheading the campaign to amend the lese majeste law, as a serious incident.
The attack on Worachet on Wednesday was a result of political divisiveness and volatility, he said.
