The government will next week launch a publicity campaign designed to explain the judicial proceedings related to two high-profile cases - the airport seizure incident involving the yellow shirts in 2008 and the Bt76 billion impounded assets of ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra.

The campaign is expected to dispel lingering doubts about injustice and double standards, PM's Office Minister Satit Wongnongtaey said Wednesday.

"The red shirts are trying to smear the judicial system and the government is obligated to explain the facts in order to counter any attempts to politicise the judiciary," he said.

In the face of the swaying of sentiment by the red shirts, members of the public need to access pertinent facts in order to form judgement, he said.

The government's publicity blitz will take place from Monday to February 25. It is to be presented in various programming formats via print and broadcasting outlets.
