“Prawit should resign to take responsibility for what he said about the death of cadet Phakhapong Tanyakan, or ‘Meay’,” Thicha wrote on Change.org. However, Thicha apparently believed the apology was insufficient and started the online petition to pressure him to resign. About 80,000 people have already signed an online petition under the theme “Justice for Meay”. The petition demands that the military investigate every official involved in Phakhapong’s death and release the findings to the public. However, he added that Phakhapong’s family could rest assured that his committee would present unbiased facts.
