(MADISON) A professor at UW-Madison has introduced an online petition asking that democracy be restored in Thailand.
Thongchai Winichikul says he�s giving people a forum outside Thailand to discuss their ideas. He says the military takeover there has cut expressive freedoms in the country and he worries about the young people who have organized small gatherings in the Thai capital to protest the coup. He says the purpose of the effort is to call on the Thai authorities to not use any violence or harm or arrest the protestors. (Sixth item.)
