Three Burmese men sought help from the non-profit organisation Saimai Survive after accusing Thai officers at Borwin Police Station in Chon Buri of filing false charges in a bid to arrest and physically assault them to extort 100,000 baht.

 

After receiving the complaint from the Burmese men, Saimai Survive, posted the story on Facebook yesterday, October 24, along with a picture of a scar from the alleged physical assault on the back of one of the Burmese men.

 

The organisation said that on October 22, Borwin Police Station patrol officers arrested three Burmese men and accused them of entering Thailand illegally. The Burmese men insisted that they were in the country legally and could prove their status but the police ignored them.

 

According to the Burmese nationals, officers took them to the police station and forced them to admit the charge as they physically assaulted them. The officers then demanded 100,000 baht and promised they would close the case. They had no choice and agreed to pay the money for their safety.

 

The Burmese men told the organisation that one of the police officers arrogantly boasted after extorting the money.

How is this allowed to proliferate in the face of corruption clamp-downs?  The average Thai first sees corruption at work with the behaviour of the local policeman.  Until this is stamped out, corruption will continue to invade every walk of Thai life.

Yes, that's because he was boasting about his unprofessional, incompetent and lack of reasoning. It's a shamed.
