Thaksin: Thailand Must Observe Rights of Arrested Protest Leaders

The following is the most recent official statement issued by Thaksin.

Statement by Former Prime Minister of Thailand Thaksin Shinawatra

Today the Kingdom of Thailand is in mourning. I join all Thai patriots in their immediate call for calm, order, and non-violence, and fully condemn the actions of those who acted with opportunism and impunity to cause reckless damage in Bangkok, which is completely alien to the cause of the protest movement.
