THE National Legislative Assembly (NLA) plans to submit its new draft bill on justice for politically motivated offences to the government’s umbrella administrative committee for reform, reconciliation and national strategy, NLA vice president Peerasak Porjit said yesterday.

The criteria for differentiating and categorising politically motivated criminal offences and related legal procedures will for the first time be addressed by the lawmaking body of the National Legislative Assembly_as part of a bid to forge reconciliation in relation to those involved in demonstrations and unrest since 2005.
