NHRC condemns insurgent attack on Yala defence volunteer outpost

The National Human Rights Commission today issued a statement condemning southern insurgents for their brutal attack on a village defence volunteer unit in Yala’s Muang district on Tuesday evening, resulting in the deaths of 15 innocent people.

An unknown number of insurgents approached the outpost on foot under the cover of darkness and opened fire with assault rifles, killing 11 volunteers on the spot.  Four of the injured died later in hospital.

“We strongly condemn this violence, which caused the deaths of innocent civilians and volunteers.  This was a brutal act in violation of the principle of human rights and the ethical principles of all religions,” said the NHRC in its statement, adding that there were women among the dead.
