(VOVworld) – On Friday, Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on accused the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) - the political wing of the “Red Shirts” of being behind an alleged scheme to instigate unrest and attacks targeting key figures of the government. According to the government, those targeted for attacks by the group include the PM and Deputy PM and Defense Minister Prawit Wongsuwon. Earlier, the Thai army arrested a former police officer and a civilian in Khon Kaen province for involvement in the scheme. National Chief Police Gen Chakthip Chaijinda had said the suspects face charges of breaching Article 112 of the Criminal Code, known as the lese majeste law, and violating the Computer Act after authorities found them “hatching a plot to stir unrest in the city of Bangkok” and discussing an attack plan via the Line application.
