This week, after much delay, and with no independent campaigning allowed, and arrests of any opponents, a new constitution was adopted via a national referendum. The ruling military junta had overseen the drafting of this new constitution as a way to guarantee law and order. In reality, the new constitution enshrines the power of the military by giving them unprecedented powers. The fight against military rule will continue into the future with more arrests occurring on polling day itself.
Free all political prisoners in Thailand! Abolish Article 112! End the military dictatorship!
