interesting to see what the government decides to do next the local government has called for the army but the home minister and the interior ministry has said there's no need for that the police has the situation under control and so far it does look on to control however that have been allegations as well that that has been in action from the authorities as well as the police that they have stood by while dry it does have attacked have attacked muslim groups muslim neighborhoods mosques as well and have been chanting and raising religious slogans a mosque was attacked and vandalized and a suffering hindu flag was planted on top of it so a time that is very tense for muslims in the area not just in the area but around delhi as well we will have to watch closely if the death toll goes up and if the government continues to take action in any form day and reassure minorities that they are safe in the country. and the democrats on the members are just lost residents in the area about their concerns for the rioting. if we can't trust the

5:37 pm
defiance. is one of the most prominent faces of thailand's now defunct future forward party r f f p she like other former party executives has been banned from politics for 10 years but that hasn't harmed talk popularity the former spokeswoman says she has to tell him to fight on. if you keep worrying he cannot do anything our main primary country if. it cannot do anything. country a sentiment echoed by many experts who see last week's ruling heart not only the party but democracy itself. when you do soften a future for a party like this you basically disenfranchise and taking away the votes of more than 6300000 people and there will be very angry and now they're not left without

any representation in parliament. all week students have been gathering at universities here in bangkok and across the country to show their support for the f.f.t. and to call for democracy i'm wondering whether these dissolution of the future forward may have crossed may have been a turning point because for the 1st time in the last 15 years are you seeing the student bodies of different universities taking a role or having a say in thai politics by more. keep going 5 i believe in democracy someone. pushed out or light. but i will fight we are having some hope that one day the dictatorship in thailand will be lost to their democracy. whether she thought thailand could slide back into the old pattern of street protests on military interventions konica want to try to

dispel concerns but doesn't rule anything out. it doesn't mean that he has to move from prime interest punisher a democracy to just like they excrete for taste no. at the end of the day you might have to move to west that unfortunately but. i see i see have high hopes. he can make. it happen. the. great many in thailand seem angry indeed and determined to prevent the wish for democracy in thailand from the coming a thing of the past. judger us and what is a type will have to go scientist and she joins me now from hamburg germany and sort of thank you for making the time has the does edition all future forward to democracy in thailand. absolutely i mean the court here
5:40 pm
is 1st and foremost in getting mad and therefore these have been widely seen as a way to get interest off the opposition so the immediate impact is that right now there is of confidence happening in the parliament and the opposition has gathered enough voices to. put into words against the prime minister so that we get impact on democracy i mean speaking about democracy it is the constitutional order that order the dissolution all future forward when surely the constitutional court is itself a part of democracy. that has been a bit tricky and i cannot stand much about the court because these days any criticisms about the court would land you in jail but what i can say now is that the court has been pattison and if you look at the history of patty disillusioned
5:41 pm
by the constitutional court most of the parties being this soft and the opposition or at anti establishment parties so one can say that the court doesn't work in the lorry stick kind of my sex but the fact does remain that a majority of thais last in last year's election did vote for for mommy for your son or just. suggested that has brought support for his style of democracy. absolutely i'm not saying that this is a return to earth or a tear in the sim i think we're seeing now is a certain man on the right i think we in congress election to eat his repertoire but what is happening is that. usually the opposition should have i mean all morris have of a seat in the pattern in the white house and that is
5:42 pm
a great challenge to the ruling coalition but with the dissolution off your forward the opposition is weak and therefore at the ruling coalition can sustain his position of power far right. just sort of briefly do you see this potentially as a turning point for tar democracy do you see for example younger people coming out onto the streets to protest this. yes this has already happened right after the court already is a turning point in the sense that. you you what you have now is angry supporters of the future forward re and 10 years ago you also have angry supporters of taps into piety on the street so basically the people who are dissatisfied with this kind of political trick have
5:43 pm
