Crime Thai Cybercrime Unit Arrests Man Over Child Porn Distribution
Picture courtesy of Siam Rath Authorities have arrested a middle-aged man for his involvement in disseminating child pornography via a Telegram group. On 13th May, police in Thailand’s cyber division reported the arrest of the 46-year-old man, identified as Mr Salar, who allegedly managed an online group dedicated to sharing illegal content without charging members. The arrest followed a prior operation on 30th August last year when TICAC, the police unit focused on combatting online child sexual exploitation, apprehended another individual, Mr Kraison, for distributing pornography. This investigation led to discovering the Telegram group through links found on a Line Band group also involved in sharing child pornography. Mr Salar was located in Ubon Ratchathani province after a search warrant was issued by Det Udom Provincial Court. Officers conducted a raid that uncovered a mobile phone containing evidence that linked Mr Salar to the management of the Telegram group. Police confirmed that the suspect admitted to purchasing the child pornography from another source. The investigation is ongoing to identify and prosecute all individuals connected to this network. Charges against Mr Salar include possession and distribution of child pornography for sexual exploitation, which carries a penalty of up to seven years in prison, a maximum fine of 140,000 Baht, or both.

Accident Elderly Man Killed, Wife Seriously Injured in Motorcycle Crash at Kanchanaburi Intersection
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A traffic collision in Kanchanaburi province claimed the life of a 73-year-old man and left his 74-year-old wife seriously injured after the elderly couple made a sudden turn on their motorcycle, cutting across the path of an oncoming pickup truck at a busy intersection. The incident occurred around 10:20 on 12 May at the Nong Khaw traffic lights in Tha Muang district. Police Lieutenant Waraporn Kalpakdee of Nong Khaw Police Station, along with medical personnel from Somdet Phra Sangharaja Hospital and rescue workers from the Khun Rattanawut Foundation, responded swiftly to the scene. On arrival, emergency services found a damaged motorcycle lying in the middle of the intersection. Nearby, the lifeless body of Mr. Somchai, 73, who had been driving the motorcycle, was discovered. His wife, Mrs. Sutjai, 74, who had been riding pillion, sustained critical injuries and was rushed to hospital for urgent treatment. CCTV footage from the area revealed that the couple had been travelling from Kanchanaburi town towards their home in Ban Nong Khaw, initially riding in the far-left lane. However, they suddenly veered right across lanes in an attempt to turn, directly into the path of a blue Toyota pickup truck travelling at speed in the centre lane. The pickup collided forcefully with the motorcycle, causing the fatal crash. Ms. Nuengruethai, 24, the granddaughter of the couple, arrived at the scene in tears after learning of the crash. Visibly distraught, she shared that her grandparents had come into town earlier that morning to visit her at her workplace. After spending a short time together, they left to return home. Not long after, she received the devastating news of the crash. Authorities have sent Mr. Somchai’s body for a full forensic examination and are continuing to investigate the crash. The driver of the pickup truck has been taken in for questioning as part of standard legal procedures. Adapted by Asean Now from Khoasod 2025-05-14. -

UN Aviation Body Holds Russia Responsible for MH17 Tragedy
UN Aviation Body Holds Russia Responsible for MH17 Tragedy More than a decade after Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was shot down over eastern Ukraine, the United Nations’ aviation agency has delivered a landmark decision, ruling that Russia was responsible for the catastrophic event. The ruling by the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) found that the Russian Federation failed to meet its international legal obligations to safeguard civilian aircraft. MH17 was flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur on July 17, 2014, when it was struck by a Russian-made missile while passing over the Donbas region, a conflict zone where pro-Russian separatists were engaged in combat with Ukrainian forces. All 298 people on board perished in the disaster. The passengers included 196 Dutch nationals, 38 Australians, 10 British citizens, as well as several Belgian and Malaysian passengers. Despite overwhelming evidence presented in multiple investigations, the Kremlin has consistently denied any role in the downing of the aircraft. However, the ICAO’s decision reinforces the findings of a Dutch court in 2022, which concluded that the plane was brought down by a Russian-controlled group. That court convicted two Russian nationals and one pro-Moscow Ukrainian of murder in absentia, sentencing them to life imprisonment. None of the individuals has been extradited, and they remain free. The case before the UN agency was initiated in 2022 by the governments of Australia and the Netherlands, who have long sought accountability for the deaths of their citizens. Reacting to the ICAO’s ruling, Australia’s foreign minister Penny Wong declared, “We call upon Russia to finally face up to its responsibility for this horrific act of violence and make reparations for its egregious conduct.” Dutch foreign minister Caspar Veldkamp described the decision as a crucial moment in the pursuit of truth and justice. “It marked an important step towards establishing the truth and achieving justice and accountability,” he said. Veldkamp also emphasized the wider implications of the ICAO’s ruling, stating that “states cannot violate international law with impunity.” The ICAO’s resolution specifically cited Russia’s breach of Article 3 bis of the Convention on International Civil Aviation, which obliges countries to avoid using weapons against civil aircraft in flight. Although the decision does not carry direct enforcement powers or criminal penalties, it carries significant moral and diplomatic weight, further isolating Moscow on the global stage. This latest ruling adds to the mounting international condemnation of Russia’s actions in Ukraine and in the skies above it. It also reinforces ongoing calls for compensation and accountability, both for the victims’ families and for the global community, which continues to reckon with the consequences of the incident.
