House sets Thursday to debate amnesty bill

House Speaker Somsak Kiartsuranont on Tuesday issued a most urgent circular scheduling Thursday as the date for amnesty debate.

The vetting of the amnesty bill was completed on Monday after the draft had been revised to grant blanket amnesty to political overseers, rally organizers, protesters as well as coup victims from 2006 to 2013.
The original draft addressed only protesters.
The House is expected to see heated debate for the bill's second and third readings.
