Thai Action Committee for Democracy in Burma (TACDB) under the Thai Allied Committee with Desegregated Burma foundation (TACDB) condemns this coup for the following reasons:
1. The coup is a crime against democracy. In particular, Myanmar has General election recently elect by the people who expressed their willingness to authorize the National League for Democracy (NLD) party to the majority in administrations. The coup, therefore, does not have any legitimacy to Burmese who desire democratic politics that value their free will.
2. The coup was the abolition of sovereignty with principles of separation and checks and balances Is the heart of a democratic society. By centralizing the executive power, legislation and the judiciary into one power under the group of persons in the name of the coup will be an arbitrary use of power.

4. Seizing power through a coup conflicts against the rule of law / rule by law in which all persons must be protected equally under the law. It cannot claim by any group of persons to enforce the law arbitrarily especially the use of power to sweep and arrest the government, the elected representatives as well as all persons that use freedom to express different opinions or expresses against a coup. This could be also the use of power that may lead to all forms of extrajudicial killings regardless of the judicial process and human rights according to the international principle of the United Nations which show its savage as there are no rules consistent with democratic ways.
For these reasons, Thai Action Committee for Democracy in Burma (TACDB) condemns the coup and calls upon Burma's military coup as follows:
1. Abolish the coup that unjustified seize power, Accept and respect election results, And restore power to rule by elected representatives immediately;
2. Respect the human rights of politicians, students and people of Myanmar and immediately freed those who were in custody.
This statement bases on the belief in Human Rights, Rule of law / Rule by Law and the principles of democracy and as Thai people who are a good neighborhood of Myanmar people and as a member of the ASEAN community.
