Corruption loophole is being tightened for one neck only

Re: “Corruption’s escape routes closing one by one”, The Nation editorial, Nov 24) 

Respectfully, this is nonsense.
This is a law designed to prosecute Thaksin Shinawatra. And when you have a law enacted essentially to prosecute one person or one side, it is a textbook example of unfair prosecution.
If you want to have a legitimate war on corruption in Thailand, I would strongly applaud that. However, it needs to be focused on all the corrupt people, not just those who aren’t in favour with the powers-that-be. Further, the Anti-Corruption Commission needs to be reformed from top to bottom; at the moment it resembles a state-funded political assassination squad for the powers-that-be. Finally, there needs to be a serious prosecution of someone on the “Yellow” side of equal stature to Thaksin or Yingluck. I would suggest Suthep Thaugsuban, but that is simply my view.
I think Thaksin is likely guilty of many, many things. However, in order for justice to be done, justice also needs to be seen to be done.
That hasn’t happened in Thailand yet.
