100,000 police to deployed to keep security for referendum

Piyapan said police found documents that allegedly distorted the charter draft distributed in northern provinces. They have not found that the documents were linked with any political movement that aims to sabotage the referendum.
Police found that the papers were made by individuals. However, if further investigation found the papers were linked to any political groups, police would take legal action against all people involved.
He said debates on the charter draft can be carried out but rallies staged with political motivation or to instigate disturbances are strictly banned.
He said police had been instructed to carry out their duty without political discrimination. They and their families can freely vote “yes or no” in the referendum without orders from their superiors to vote in either way.
