A prominent business executive Sunday denied being involved with the movement of the Neo Democracy Movement (NDM) who defied junta's order to stage several protests against the military rule.
Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit wrote on his Facebook that he had never been involved with the set up, the campaign and the movement of the NDM.
He said he was at the Pathumwan Police Station on June 24, the day the students gathered in front of the station to file complaints against police for alleged abuse of power after their heavy-handed arrest for protesting against the first-year anniversary of the May 22 coup in Bangkok.
“I was there not because I used them as my puppets as accused. I was there as a citizen who has every right to think and believe differently. I want to give them [the students] what they needed most: encouragement and mental support,” he wrote.
