The PDRC strongly condemns the use of weapons of war, including M-79s, against unarmed citizens exercising their constitutional right to peacefully express political views different from those who claim to exercise administrative power. Once again, we reiterate our call to the authorities to swiftly bring the perpetrators to justice. We have repeated this request since the attacks on Ramkhamhaeng University students in November 2013, to no avail. The current death toll of anti-government demonstrators stands at 25 with over 700 injured.
May our fallen friends rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with their loved ones and also with the injured and their families.
