"Military officers"

Relatives of pro-democracy protesters killed in the May 1992 military crackdown have given the authorities an ultimatum, demanding that the culprits behind last Friday’s attack on political activist Sirawit Serithiwat be arrested within seven days.

Almost all 30 new members of the National Legislative Assembly to be appointed by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha will be high-ranking military officers, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Military officers visited the home of Pheu Thai Party politician Watana Muangsuk yesterday with the plan to detain him for another “attitude adjustment” session, but he was not home.

NCPO says powers will not be abused; only influential figures being targeted.

Police and soldiers will get a pay raise so their salaries are on par with that of civil servants, the Cabinet decided yesterday.
