           the common law while government agencies and networks should lead
           a restorative justice process for a sustainable transition.


                  The summary of the analysis in the cases of political injustice
           from prosecuting political protesters suggested the authorities imposed

           the law and the justice process as tools to stop political movements,
           eliminate players in different political sides, create fear, and make

           abnormal procedures. The catalyst for the social crisis in this case started
           with the Constitutional Court’s decision on 10 November, 2021 that the

           rally and speeches by demonstrators at Thammasat University’s Rangsit
           Campus in 2020 were meant to overthrow the democratic regime with

           the King as Head of State according to the Constitution. This important
           "cutting line" causes more conflict and division in society. An important

           suggestion is that the authorities must stop using the law and the judicial
           process to eliminate political players with different political views, but

           open forums for discussion to find creative solutions, such as parliamentary
           mechanisms that adhere to the public interests.


                  From the results from the study, the researchers propose structural

           reform of Thailand’s criminal investigation system and to administration
           within the police organization in order to reduce the gap in discrimination
           against the accused in criminal cases. Three reforms are suggested.

           First, police and criminal investigation work should be reformed to allow

           the prosecutor to investigate the facts of cases at the three levels:
