泰国首次出现有组织反对军事政变的迹象。一位前政府部长表示要与异议人士合作，恢复“民主原则”。
前总理英拉所在的泰国为泰党领袖乍鲁蓬在一封公开信中宣布组建“自由泰国人权和民主组织”。英拉在军方5月接管政府之前因宪法法院的裁决而被迫下台。
乍鲁蓬说，他们将在国内外组织反抗泰国军方的运动。他说，泰国军方是不民主的，企图继续在政治中发挥作用。
泰国代理外交部长对乍鲁蓬宣布成立反军方组织不以为然。他说，泰国只有一个合法政府。
目前还不清楚新成立的反军方组织总部设在何处，也不清楚他们将如何反对一直严厉镇压任何抗议迹象的军人政权。
The first sign of organized opposition to Thailand's military coup has emerged, with an ex-government minister vowing to work with fellow dissidents to restore "democratic principles."
The formation of the Organization of Free Thais for Human Rights and Democracy was announced Tuesday in an open letter by Jarupong Ruangsuwan.
Jarupong was the head of the Pheu Thai party of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, who was ousted by a Constitutional Court ruling just before the military takeover in May.
He said the new campaign will help organize resistance, both inside and outside the country, to the military, which he said was undemocratic and trying to preserve its role in politics.
Acting foreign minister, Sihasak Phuangketkeow, dismissed the announcement, saying there was "only one legitimate government" in Thailand.
It is not clear where the group will be based or how it even will oppose the junta, which has cracked down harshly on any sign of protest against its takeover.
