Should it really bother us to partake in understanding Thai politics as we can't vote ? If they want to kill themselves all well and good. Just leave me out of it.

Anti-govt protestors injured in Udon Thani clash seek UN help

BANGKOK, July 28 (TNA) - Leaders of the anti-government People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) and two PAD supporters injured in a clash between pro- and anti-government groups in the northeastern province of Udon Thani on July 24 submitted a petition to the United Nations through Bangkok–based UN officials.

Pipop Thongchai, Chamlong Srimuang, and Suriyasai Katasila went to the UN regional headquarters in Bangkok on Monday to seek the world body's help after the PAD protestors were injured in a clash with a pro-government group.

The letter said the attack on PAD protestors by the opposite group is a human rights infringement.

The dedmocracy activist PAD called for the UN to intervene in the case and advise the Thai government to protect the protestors and to prevent any violence in the future.

According to Mr. Pipop, the UN officials said the response is expected within a week. (TNA)

In my view it is fairly simple - whoever resorts to violence is wrong. And it is obvious that the PAD seem capable of regularly organising peaceful protests while all the Thaksin and Samak supporters seem capable of is violence.
