An aide to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha says he is preparing to submit a petition next week seeking the expulsion from the country of the human rights group Amnesty International, which ultra-royalists accuse of undermining national security.
Seksakol Atthawong, a vice-minister in the Office of the Prime Minister, said the petition opposing Amnesty’s presence in Thailand had garnered 1.2 million signatures.
