Canada wants to see a free, peaceful, and democratic Thailand, Deepak Obhrai tells Parliament The Honourable Deepak Obhrai, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and for International Human Rights, today made the following statement in the House of Commons: “On May 7 the constitutional Court of Thailand, convicted democratically elected PM Yingluck Shinawatra of abuse of power. The decision made by Thailand’s constitutional court has resulted in the removal of prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra and nine members of the caretaker cabinet. Mr. Speaker, Canada, as a friend of Thailand, wants to see a free, peaceful, and democratic Thailand. We therefore call upon all parties to show restraint. As our Foreign Affairs Minister stated we urge all Thais to work together to resolve their differences. Our government is calling for the forthcoming election to take place peacefully, with the broadest possible participation, in accordance with the Thai constitution and in keeping with democratic principles and the rule of law. We wish the people of Thailand our best wishes.”
