They have not found that the documents were linked with any political movement that aims to sabotage the referendum. Piyapan said police found documents that allegedly distorted the charter draft distributed in northern provinces. They and their families can freely vote "yes or no" in the referendum without orders from their superiors to vote in either way. He said debates on the charter draft can be carried out but rallies staged with political motivation or to instigate disturbances are strictly banned.
