Hundreds jailed for LM in Abhisit’s reign of terror

Keith Barlow (Letters Feb 12) responds to Vint Chavala’s outrageous claim that former Prime Minister Abhisit didn’t drive a wedge between the Thai citizens.

Before he became Prime Minister the lese majeste law was really used to put people in prison. Under his administration hundreds of people were thrown in jail for lese majeste in what can only be called a reign of terror. If Vint believes this was not done to persecute political opponents then he is clearly not the intellectual giant he would like us to think that he is.
