While the military is trying to legitimise its coup via the ratification of a new constitution, the reality for most people is that the military is still intensifying its repression. In an attempt to consolidate a climate of fear, the junta is now closing community radio stations. In the meantime there have been more people targeted like Thanthawut Taweewarodomkul, labour activists Andy Hall, and Red Shirt activist Kritsuda Khunasen. This coup is only the latest chapter in the struggle for democratic and labour rights in Thailand.
