Korean activists urge release of Somyot
Korean trade unionists have taken turns in staging a ‘one-person picket’ in front of the Thai Embassy in Seoul to urge the Thai government to release Somyot Prueksakasemsuk, arrested for lèse majesté and detained without bail since late April.
On 13 July, two members of the Federation of Korean Chemical Workers Unions (FKCU) took turns in staging a two-hour-long one-person protest in front of the Thai Embassy in Seoul, South Korea.
This was the third consecutive day that Korean activists had organized a series of protests to demand that the Thai government release Somyot, a veteran Thai labour activist and editor of Red Power and Voice of Taksin magazines.
The Federation of Korean Chemical Workers Unions is the largest labour organization in South Korea’s chemical industry with a membership of 54,000.
FKCU Chair Kim Dong-myeong sent a letter to the Embassy to demand Somyot’s release on 8 July.
The protest started on 11 July with a member of the Korean Health & Medical Workers’ Union (KHMU) and continued the following day with members of the KHMU and the Korean Labour & Society Institute (KLSI).
The Korean activists said that they would continue their protest until 24 July.

Somyot is a red shirt
Somyot is a red shirt propagandist working directly for US-backed Thaksin Shinawatra. His propaganda is laced with threats of violence and calls to arms - he belongs in jail.
Prachatai is very glad to report these sob stories because they too are US-backed - owing their entire existence to George Soros' Open Society, the Rockefeller Foundation, US government funded National Endowment for Democracy and more.

That they are all hiding their true funding indicates they are also hiding their true agenda.

Real "progressive" response there "Emilio." I find these comment sections very revealing as to who you people really are and what you stand for. Debate and transparency? Facts and truth? Or a religious, ignorant devotion to ideology that foams at the mouth when confronted with facts and opinions that do not fit into your world view?
There isn't a single thing that I say that isn't based in fact.
Read it again Emilio and try to articulate an intelligent, cogent response as to why you disagree or where I am factually inaccurate.

"Progressive" means we question the rubbish you spew and decide whether to tell you to suck Prayuth's dick or not after we've read it. If you were expecting a polite conversation with a group of people willing to believe anything you say that is anti-Thaksin without getting annoyed you call us an ignorant electorate, you're in the wrong place - that's the conservatives.

Just a sort of meta observation on the comment spam stream itself. The spam content is entirely predictable.

By the way, this website he always link, landdestroyer, is done by a coalition of extrem rightists and former leftists united by a strong antisemitism... Interesting when you know that the PAD is also a coalition of extrem rightists and former leftists...

It's spam to present facts in the face of blatant lies and propaganda? Spam to provide vital information to readers that Prachatai has the duty and responsibility to disclose but willfully chooses not to?
John - your investigating and conclusions are so infantile it is no wonder you've such a skewed vision of reality and gravitate around sites like Prachati and movements like Thaksin's UDD.
Stick to the facts - like Prachatai is US funded - this is an irrefutable fact. As is the fact that Prachatai is intentionally hiding this information from its readership. Instead of facing it, you've gone into deep cognitive dissonance and resorted to ad hominem attacks.

And "antisemitism?" The cheapest trick in the book. I invite anyone to go to LandDestroyer and find anything even close to resembling "antisemitism."
I'm not going anywhere until Prachatai censors me thus becoming hypocrites - or does the right thing and discloses ALL of there foundation & govt funding to their readership. People have a right to know.
And John, please seriously
And John, please seriously get a life. You did all that legwork, copying and pasting, and posting, and you are no where even close to the truth. I am not an agent for anyone, and I challenge you to prove otherwise. Unlike Prachatai, I am 100% independent.
Expend your energy instead on figuring out the backgrounds of the National Endowment for Democracy and its affiliates and why they are funding Prachatai while simultaneously backing Thaksin Shinawatra. I explain it fairly well in this article.

I suppose it is possible that someone used to spamming for viagra has developed a similar priapic preoccupation with prachatai... but I think it more likely that our friend is funded by the same good old boys we all know so well.
And whether punching the clock or mindlessly obsessed the result is the same after the first 'novel' spam instance... zero information disruption of the otherwise more or less congenial conversation on current events as they occur here at prachatai.
Maybe the management could create a TC thread, all its own, and just shunt anything from TC, JimmyP, or centurion.vectro.com into that playpen?
John I wonder why you and the
John I wonder why you and the rest of the sycophantic Prachatai fan club have such an aversion to both the truth and rational debate. I am on topic regarding Somyos - and of course his support of US-backed Thaksin and Prachatai's US government funding are all tied together.
http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2011/07/cfr-to-thailand-accept-us-stooge-or.html
First off all - it is a valid, factual argument, second of all people reading this crass propaganda have a right to be fully informed of the facts. Prachatai has a responsibility, which it shirks, to inform their readership of who is funding and backing them and why - and that they are directly tied to the people they continuously write about and depict as helpless victims of "oppression."
Finally, please face the facts that every response you've made so far has consisted of baseless assertions while your cohorts have resorted to outright slander...
