NCPO removes Dhammakaya Temple from special controlled area
The military’s ruling National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) on Tuesday decided to remove Dhammakaya Temple from a special controlled area, Justice Minister Suwaphan Tanyuvardhana said.
In his capacity as head of the NCPO, Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha in February issued an order to declare Wat Dhammakaya and its vicinity as an area under control of the authorities in order to raid the temple in an attempt to arrest its controversial abbot.
