Chatichai revealed he has scheduled a meeting of the Communication Subcommittee under the Social Peace Promotion Committee on 11 Nov 2026 to set clear communication guidelines to prevent increased conflict and to establish rehabilitation measures for those granted amnesty who have lost life opportunities.
At 09:50 on 10 Nov 2026 at Government House, Chatichai Bangchuad, Permanent Secretary to the Prime Minister's Office, acting as secretary of the Social Peace Promotion Committee and chair of the Public Communication Subcommittee, disclosed that he has convened a meeting of the Communication Subcommittee on 11 Nov 2026 at 09:00 to determine communication and public relations strategies. He emphasized the importance of clear messaging to prevent misunderstandings that could fuel further conflict. The meeting will also set rehabilitation plans for amnesty recipients who may have lost life opportunities during that period, which will be handled within the subcommittee he oversees.
Chatichai stated that the Screening Subcommittee, chaired by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, held a meeting on 2 Nov 2026. They established criteria for reviewing cases, including those returned to the police, investigators, prosecutors, or courts for fact verification. The courts have authority to dismiss cases. Sensitive cases will be brought before the Social Peace Promotion Committee for further consideration. They aim to hold a committee meeting within November.
When asked about whether former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra meets the criteria for amnesty, Chatichai said it is better to wait for the main committee's decision. The screening and fact-finding processes are still underway within the Screening Subcommittee.
Asked if the main committee meeting in November will conclude all submitted cases, Chatichai replied that some issues may be resolved, but not all. Additional information might be needed for some cases, requiring further investigation. They plan to hold the main committee meeting in November after his subcommittee completes its work. He will present the results from both subcommittees to the main committee for approval of principles on certain matters.
