I will be one of the first to support the move on this forum. Also, there should be a travel ban on the four who ran the central bank. Let the law and the transparency take control not the mob from the JoJoJoker-Gama. I was just thinking, if these same people from JoJoJoker-Gamahad been blocking the entrance to Chung Chung Chang’s office asking that independent parties from the UN should be transparently investigating the shooting of the Al Jazeera journalist yesterday and set camp until there demands come through, whether she will be staying at home and tweeting congratulatory messages daily in support of the demonstrators for their peaceful protest on a just cause.

Good, if one has committed committed crime, they must face consequences! However, how about also placing such a ban on those who carried out (or were instigating from the shadows) assault, murder, attempted murder, arson, looting, by taking the law in to their own hands, in the two days following the GallFace violence?
I object to the 17th name in the list.
He should be let go overseas where he can pursue a brilliant career as a stage male stripper.
He performed well when under attack by the mob where he was ‘stripped’.
Reporting from GoRaGoGama (Gota Ranil Go Gama) where we are finding it difficult to charge our devices.
Hope the new Govt will restore steady power supplies to the Aragalaya.
