There was a disgraceful incident, but not on that scale. Tak Bai was 78, the war on drugs was 2500! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only referring to a post about the Tak Bai incident. The poster said 1500 people were massacred, and most were Thaksin's enemies - not correct.

Wait until February when he will have a miraculous recovery and go home. Why don't they just stop the charade and waste of tax payers money and let him go home now? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, for all the years he was in "exile", roaming the world virtually unrestricted, the ICC never thought or moved to bring a case against him. Strange that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herfiehandbag Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) Will that be before or after they show up at Prawit's place to look at his wristwatches, or pop around to Prayut's gaffe to check out his bank books, or arrange a chat with Suthep to inquire about all the bin liners full of "cash donations" given by the grateful retailers of Bangkok as he was marching around... That last one was the original "silent collection" wasn't it - no coins, notes only please. Edited October 20, 2023 by herfiehandbag 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange that! Lawyers have suggested that Thaksin's drug war might amount to a crime against humanity under Article Seven of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court [ICC], set up in 1992. It is up to ICC if they want to arrest, but because Thailand has not ratified the Rome agreement its very doubtful, but does not alter the fact that Thaskin is a war criminal responsible for some 2800 deaths, When the Independent Committee on the Casualties of the 2003 War on Drugs established by the Surayud Chulanont government published its report in 2008, it concluded that 1,372 of the people killed had no drug related records. More importantly,the chair of the commission concluded that all 2,873 killings should be considered crimes against humanity Since the day the report was published, not a single case has been pursued. The culture of impunity is Thailands national shame. Thaksin's "war on drugs" was broadly welcomed by many Thais 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
