Report Dubious Products Cleaned from Thai Online Shops
Picture courtesy of Bangkok Post In a tech-savvy crackdown, Thailand's government has unleashed "TISI Watch," an AI-driven system targeting dodgy products online. Aimed at boosting consumer safety and ensuring fair play in e-commerce, this initiative seeks to uphold stringent Thai Industrial Standards. Deputy spokeswoman Sasikarn Wattanachan revealed that the scheme, spearheaded by Industry Minister Akanat Promphan, kicked off on July 7. Operating round-the-clock, TISI Watch examines suspicious product links, enforcing compliance with regulations. In just five months of piloting, more than 125,000 dodgy links have been flagged, with over 2,800 yanked from the web. Currently, 777 legal cases are in progress, many involving major e-commerce platforms. Common offenders include food-grade plastics, children's toys, power strips, and motorcycle exhausts, all posing considerable safety hazards. Next steps for TISI Watch involve tackling counterfeit goods and bogus licences. Public support is encouraged through the "Report to Industry" Line account. This proactive approach highlights Thailand's commitment to maintaining safe and honest digital marketplaces, demonstrating how technology can play a crucial role in safeguarding consumer interests.

Report How hundreds of Irish babies came to be buried in a secret mass grave
An investigation is underway in Tuam, County Galway, where authorities have begun excavation work on a suspected mass grave at the site of a former mother-and-baby institution. The two-year operation began Monday on a small plot of grass adjacent to a children’s playground, where remains of nearly 800 children are believed to be buried. The location was once home to St Mary’s, a church-run facility that housed unmarried pregnant women and their children between 1925 and 1961. Many of the children were separated from their mothers shortly after birth. Death records list the first child to die at the home as Patrick Derrane in 1925, and the last as Mary Carty in 1960. In total, 796 children are recorded to have died during those 35 years. The area where the bodies are believed to lie was previously labelled a sewage tank on 1929 site maps. PJ Haverty, who spent his early childhood at the home, described it as a prison and recalled being socially excluded at school. "We had to arrive 10 minutes late and leave 10 minutes early," he said. "You were dirt from the street." The site's past remained largely hidden until 2014, when amateur historian Catherine Corless uncovered death records but found no corresponding burial records for the deceased children. Her investigation began in 2005, initially sparked by a local history course. Catherine found resistance and a lack of documentation during her inquiries, but a key lead came from a cemetery caretaker who recalled that two boys had uncovered bones under a broken concrete slab in the 1970s. At the time, the discovery was believed to be linked to famine-era burials, but maps and other evidence led Catherine to question that assumption. Comparing historical maps, she found a 1929 reference to a sewage tank and a handwritten 1970s note referring to the area as a "burial ground." She later obtained a list from the local registration office that confirmed 796 child deaths at the home. None appeared in official cemetery records. Mary Moriarty, a resident of the estate in the 1970s, also gave testimony about seeing bundles of what she believed to be infant remains. She described falling into a hole at the site and finding small wrapped bundles packed in rows. In 2017, a government inquiry confirmed the presence of "significant quantities" of human remains at the location. The age range of the remains was between approximately 35 weeks gestation and two to three years old. Anna Corrigan, who founded the Tuam Babies Family Group, discovered in 2012 that she had two brothers born at the home, John and William. John's death was recorded at 16 months, but no burial location was found. William's burial remains unknown. The current excavation is being overseen by Daniel MacSweeney, an expert in post-conflict recovery. He noted the difficulty in identifying remains, stating that infant bones are extremely small and often intermingled. The operation marks the first of its kind and is expected to take up to two years. Families and campaigners hope the process will finally bring answers for the many relatives of the children believed to be buried at the site. Adapted from original story by BBC
