The Association for People's Rights was also critical of the coup. In a formal statement, it noted that the coup was destructive to the democratic system and would result in serious human rights infractions. The Association demanded that the junta respect human rights, involve public participation to draft a constitution that protected human rights at least as well as the abrogated 1997 Constitution, and hold speedy elections.<ref>[http://www.prachatai.com/05web/th/home/page2.php?mod=mod_ptcms&ContentID=5031&SystemModuleKey=HilightNews Formal statement from the Association for People's Rights (สมาคมสิทธิเสรีภาพของประชาชน)]</ref>

[[Amnesty International]] demanded that the junta must uphold human rights. "No one should be penalised for their peaceful exercise of the rights of freedom of expression, association or assembly," the London-based group said in a statement. Amnesty also called for the junta to "comply with Thailand's obligations under international human rights law."<ref>The Nation, [http://nationmultimedia.com/breakingnews/read.php?newsid=30014353 Rights protections must be upheld by Thai junta: Amnesty], 22 September 2006</ref>
