With tears in her eyes, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra Monday called on all sides in the political conflicts to forgive and forget and have compassion toward one another.

Yingluck made the call when members of 24 families, whose relatives were killed during the red-shirt crackdowns in 2010, met her at the Government House.

The group expressed support for the amnesty bill, saying relatives of the slain red-shirt protesters agreed that the amnesty would be he best way-out for the country so that it could move forward.

Yingluck thanked the group of relatives with tears in her eyes.

"I would like to thank you all for making sacrifices so that the country could move on," Yingluck said.

Commenting on mounting protests against the amnesty bill, Yingluck said she would like to call on all sides to have sympathy for others and forgive their opponents as well as having compassion for others.

"We must lend our hands in helping the country. The first thing that must be done is to forgive one another so that everything could move forward," Yingluck said.

"If the government does nothing, the country will slip back to the same circle of violence," she added referring to the amnesty bill.

She said the government had to keep order during the protests and she believed the demonstrations would be peaceful.

She added she had instructed police to be patience and abide by the law and avoid clashes with the protesters

Give me a break! All they had to do was leave her brother out of the amnesty and everything would've been fine.

Yeah. It is all about him. Always will be. What I do not understand is he is a very rich person and not some average Thai person that could not afford the best lawyers money can buy. If he was as free as he thinks he is why is not back in Thailand fighting for his rights?

Do they talk about this on thaivisa a lot?

Yeah it's a huge subject on Thaivisa.

He's not back in Thailand because there's a 2 year jail sentence waiting for him. All appeals have been exhausted for that one. Also, he has about 5 or 6 more cases working their way through the courts, so he'll more than likely be looking at more time. I bet if he did actually ever serve his time, it would be a joke. Probably some special prison that would be more like a resort. The best thing for Thailand is for him to stay gone and never come back. He's already done enough to #### up the country. I actually feel sorry for his sister. I can't believe he drug her into all this.
