Former premier Thaksin Shinawatra will not abandon his political struggle unless his five demands are met, his legal adviser Noppadon Patama said yesterday. "Thaksin wants to raise awareness on the lack of democracy and will fight along with those tens of millions of people suffering from injustice," Noppadon said, alluding to the alliance between Thaksin and the red shirts.
To bring about reconciliation, the Democrat-led government and the powerful institution known as "amartya" must comply with the five demands, he said in reference to the Privy Council.
Thaksin's five demands are:
- The restoration of the suspended 1997 charter
- A blanket amnesty to political offenders under the provisions of the 2007 Constitution
- House dissolution
- Honest and fair balloting
- All rival camps to stop activities after the election outcome
Noppadol said the powers-that-be were trying to portray the red shirts as troublemakers even though they were the real villains who stole power from the people
