CDC to discuss proposals for an amnesty, plus other ideas

CDC to discuss proposals for an amnesty, plus other ideas

Constitution drafter Anek Laothamatas said Monday that he has proposed an amnesty bill for the Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC) to consider - to try to free opposing political parties and achieve national reconciliation.

Anek is chairman of the Constitution Drafting Committee subpanel responsible for national reforms and reconciliation. The CDC is due to begin talks with all 10 subcommittee Tuesday, he said and noted that his amnesty proposal was one among many.
The amnesty proposal should be put by a neutral party otherwise parties in dispute would not accept it, he said, noting that the military government could not do the job since its opponent would not trust such an idea from them.
“We should not talk too much [on this matter], or it won’t succeed. But, it’s up to our intention – if we push the amnesty in good faith, I believe we could get it done,” Anek told reporters.
