Key government leaders held a meeting with university rectors Friday afternoon, trying seek their help to convince their lectures, students and staffs that the government has already aborted the amnesty effort.
The university rectors were invited by Education Minister Chaturon Chaisang to the meeting. The meeting was also participated by PM’s Office Minister Varathep Ratanakorn and Deputy PM Phongthep Thepkanjana as well as Samart Kaewmeechai, the chairman of the panel that vetted the amnesty bill.
Most rectors told the meeting that they could not tell their university community’s members to stop because the government has done nothing to show and convince them that the amnesty effort has really been aborted.
