== ้Executions and Communist purges ==
The infamous Article 17 of the Interim Constitution of Thailand, 1959 or " M17" was the legal basis for Sarit to order executions. Using M17, parliament was abolished, newspapers were strictly censored, political parties were prohibited, and people who were suspected of colluding with [[communist]]s were imprisoned. From 1958 to 1963, eleven people were executed under M17.

In 6 November 1958, Sarit used his orders to execute the Thai-Chinese man for [[arson]] in Talat phlu, Later in 26 June 1959 He ordered to execute the rebel leader, so the people knows that his regime is totalitarian regime.

Most notorious executions are executing Supachai Srisati who leaves leaflet that protests Sarit's Authoritarian regime, later in 30 June 1959, Supachai was arrested for "supporting communists" and "traitors" and being punish by death penalty with M17 by extrajudicial killings.

Another one case is Teacher Krong Chandawongse, former Free Thai Movement and Member of Parliament of Sakhon Nakorn and previously arrested for "separatists" and released in 1957, After Sarit's autocoup in 1958 and establishing the authoritarian regime but Teacher Krong is survived from first purges and he resigned from MPs to begin a career.

Teacher Krong and his friends establishes a secret anti-dictatorship factions called "Moral Unity (Thai: สามัคคีธรรม)" and provokes people to knows the labourer class, Later he was arrested in 6 May 1961 and being punish by death penalty with M17 by extrajudicial killings again.
