Royalists use liberal university’s grounds to declare stance against protesters
A royalist group gathered in Ramkhamhaeng University’s Huamark campus on Wednesday to announce that it wanted to protect the monarchy from groups that are allegedly inciting people without presenting facts.
The network demands action on the following points:
• People who behaved inappropriately during the royal motorcade on October 14 must be condemned.
• People who spurred this behaviour must be taken to account.
• Anti-government protesters must stop causing conflicts among people.
The group said that though it does not intend to interfere with the pro-democracy movement, it does not agree with the protesters’ viewpoint and believes they are violating the law as well as people’s rights and liberties.
The network is also inviting other royalists to swear their loyalty to the monarchy at an event in the university’s Huamark campus on October 31 from 4pm onwards.
However, Ramkhamhaeng University students have long been known for their anti-establishment views and have often participated in pro-democracy protests.
