A small group of black-clad activists from the Democracy Restoration Group and the Students Federation of Thailand on Tuesday took part in the symbolic activity -- ‘’Mourning the Thai justice system for not protecting people with different views.’’Their show of dissent follows the growing incidence of physical assaults on political activists. Stop attacking people holding different viewpoints", converged in front of the Royal Thai Police Office on Tuesday. These assaults reflected the failure of the National Council for Peace and Order in allowing people in other political camps to attack the activists, and the failure of police and the country’s justice system to protect the lives of the people, she said.
