A group of 23 law lecturers of Thammasat University on Sunday issued a statement questioning the Nitirat group's motives for proposing nullifications of all judicial decisions which were a consequence of the Sept 19, 2006 coup.
They said the proposal made by the Nitirat group, which comprises seven law academics from Thammasat University, was against the academic ethics, the rule of law, and democratic principles.
They said in the statement that the Nitirat group singled out only the Sept 19, 2006 coup, which brought down the government of Thaksin Shinawatra, without mentioning previous coups.
The Nitirat group failed to say what happened to the country's administration before the 2006 coup, arousing suspicion that it was intending to help certain individuals, the lecturers said in the statement.
