Spaces must be opened for discussion: NSC chief
Anusit Kunakorn, secretary-general of the National Security Council (NSC), said Wednesday that universities, academics and media should set up a public space for discussion, so people can voice their opinions and proposals on reform.
However, he refused to comment on the release of the 14 students who were detained for defying government regulations and staging a rally against the coup, other than saying that the justice system should be allowed to handle it.
He said he believes the students had good intentions, except their method of expressing their views was different. Hence, he said, a stage should be set up for lecturers and students to discuss and express their ideas freely. Also, he said, the NSC wants to invite the media to discuss the role it can play in the country’s future.
“This is my own idea and I would like to be the one hosting it,” he said.
