( CNN ) -- She was only crowned Miss Universe Thailand on Saturday but Weluree `` Fai '' Ditsayabut has already become caught up in the political crisis engulfing her country , after comments were found on her Facebook page referring to pro-government demonstrators as `` dirty , '' `` evil activists '' that should `` all be executed . '' According to news site Khaosod English , the 22-year-old has often published scathing comments about the `` red shirt '' movement on her Facebook page , which now appears to have been deleted . `` I am not neutral . I am on the side of His Majesty the King , '' Weluree said in a comment from November , Khaosod English reported . `` I 'm so angry at these evil activists . They should all be executed . '' Weluree reportedly said Thailand would be cleaner if the `` dirty '' red shirts left the country . Pro-government supporters have questioned Weluree 's pageant victory on popular online forums and social media sites . A Facebook page in protest of her winning the competition had over 10,000 `` likes '' on Monday -- although some users criticized her appearance and claimed she won because of her connections , rather than raising concerns about her anti-red shirt comments . The deputy director of Human Rights Watch 's Asia division , Phil Robertson , condemned Weluree 's remarks on Twitter . `` Perhaps ( a ) better title is Miss Politically Divided # Thailand ? Shameful when beauty queens are calling for executions , '' he wrote . Weluree -- an actress , talk show host , and English student -- apologized Monday for the remarks in an interview on Thailand 's Channel 3 . `` I was careless . I was young . I did it recklessly , '' she said . `` It wo n't happen again . '' Weluree beat the pageant favorite Pimbongkod `` Ellie '' Chankaew who placed second in Saturday 's competition . The pageant organizers have not responded to the controversy , nor have the leaders of the pro-government movement . Thailand 's political turmoil began in November when the government attempted to pass a controversial amnesty bill that would have cleared the way for the return of then-prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra 's brother , Thaksin , to politics . The former prime minister and tycoon has been living in self-imposed exile to avoid a corruption conviction after being overthrown in a military coup in 2006 . Since November , the People 's Democratic Reform Committee has led anti-government protesters , who are mostly middle-class royalists , in calling for Yingluck 's government to be replaced with an unelected `` people 's council . '' Competing rallies have been held by pro-government supporters , many of whom come from the country 's rural north and northeast and view Shinawatra 's ouster as a `` judicial coup . '' Yingluck was found guilty of abuse of power and removed from office along with several cabinet ministers on May 7 , and indicted by Thailand 's anti-graft body . If the Senate votes to impeach her , she could be banned from politics for five years . Monday marks a particularly sensitive day for the red shirt movement as the anniversary of a military crackdown that left more than 90 people dead and thousands injured in 2010 .
