Hej
Nu träder även Jatuporn fram i dagens Bangkok Post och talar om att Nitirat,s avsikter är goda men att grupper som vill behålla lagarna och som vill bli av med landets regering vinklar det till att Nitirat gruppen är antimonarkistisk.
Han säger också att Nitirat gruppen är länkad både till UDD och PT, vilket var precis vad jag själv tog för troligt.

Jatuporn: Nitirat's ideas well meant
Published: 2/02/2012 at 02:27 PM Online news:
The intention of the Nitirat group of law lecturers in proposing the reform of the lese majeste law, Section 112 of the Criminal Code, is to protect the monarchy, but it has been misrepresentated by groups of people who want to use it as a pretext for toppling the government, Pheu Thai Party list MP Jatuporn Prompan said on Thursday.
Mr Jatuporn, a core member of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship, said he did not deny the fact that the red-shirts and the Nitirat group were linked.
However, Nitirat, UDD and Pheu Thai were independent from each other in terms of opinion.
"We never deny we are linked, but Nitirat has it own opinion. I have a firm belief that Nitirat's proposal is intended to protect the high institution, but it has been distorted and made the subject of false accusations.
"In fact, Somkid Lertpaithoon, the rector of Thammasat University, should let the truth be known - that Thammasat University is where the Oct 6, 1976 bloodshed took place and this led to an amendment of Section 112," he said.
Mr Jatuporn said it waas his understanding the Nitirat group proposed the amendment to Section 112 because the law had been misused by the previous government to persecute people with different opinions.
He said in 2002 there were no cases related to Section 112, but in 2009 the number of lese majest cases has swollen to over 100.
The Pheu Thai list MP claimed certain groups of people were persistent in their intention to bring down the present government. They had even set up a war room with the aim to topple the government in April, he added.
He, therefore, had called for Nitirat to review its call for the amendment of Section 112 because it could be used as a pretext by those people to move against the government.
If that happened, it was the red-shirts who would have to come out again and there could be more loss of flesh and blood.
Although Nitirat might have more than 10,000 names to support its amendment draft, not a single member of the House of Representatives would vote for it, he said.
Mr Jatuporn said the red-shirts would stress their intention of getting the constitution amended and stress opposition to a coup by holding a concert at the Bonanza on Khao Yai on Feb 25.
The concert, to be held from noon until the following day, was expected to draw hundreds of thousands of red-shirts. Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra would also call in on a video link on that night, he said.
