All charter draft campaigns prohibited

Campaigns to support or oppose the charter draft, including wearing “Vote Yes” or “Vote No” t-shirts, in the upcoming national referendum will not be allowed, Deputy Prime Minster Prawit Wongsuwan said Monday.

“You can like or dislike [the draft] but don’t express it [to public] and keep [the opinion] inside your minds. Whoever wear the “Vote No” or “Vote Yes” t-shirts will be taken off,” he said.   
Prawit responded to anti-charter draft movements which some groups, including the Network of Academics for Civil Rights, on Sunday wore T-shirts with a "Vote No" logo when they read a statement outlining five arguments against the draft at a press conference.
