All 14 Defendants in Tak Bai Massacre Cases Flee Country, Senate Committee Reports
According to police reports submitted to the Senate committee on public participation, human rights, and consumer protection, all 14 defendants and suspects involved in the two Tak Bai massacre cases have left Thailand. The committee, chaired by Senator Angkhana Neelapaijit, a prominent human rights defender, received the update as both cases near their expiration on Friday, October 25. Among the high-profile figures is Gen. Pisarn Wattanawongkiri, former Fourth Army Region commander and a former party-list MP of the ruling party, who is believed to have fled to Tokyo. Another suspect is reportedly in London. The remaining 12 are thought to have crossed into neighboring countries, including Laos, via unofficial routes. The Tak Bai massacre, which occurred in 2004, remains a deeply controversial event in Thailand’s history, sparking long-standing calls for justice and accountability. The apparent flight of the defendants just before the cases expire raises further concerns over impunity in human rights cases in the country. This development marks a significant setback for victims and human rights groups who have sought legal resolution for nearly two decades. File picture for reference only. -- 2024-10-23 -

Trump Campaign Accuses UK Labour Party of Election Interference
The Trump campaign has filed a formal complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), accusing the Harris-Walz campaign and the UK Labour Party of engaging in "illegal foreign campaign contributions and interference" in the upcoming U.S. elections. The Trump camp claims that Labour Party activists are influencing the election and boosting what it describes as the Harris campaign’s "radical message." In a statement released on the Trump-Vance campaign website, the complaint alleges that the Harris campaign is "seeking foreign influence to boost its radical message" by coordinating with Labour Party members. The statement also accuses the Labour Party of inspiring what it calls Harris's "dangerously liberal policies and rhetoric." This complaint follows a post on LinkedIn, reportedly from a senior Labour Party official, which suggested that nearly 100 Labour Party staff members, both current and former, were heading to battleground states such as North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Virginia to campaign on behalf of the Democrats. The official post, which has since been deleted, mentioned that 10 spots were still available for Labour activists willing to volunteer in North Carolina, with housing arrangements sorted by Democratic volunteers. Labour Party officials have stated that these activists are campaigning in a personal capacity and that their trips are self-funded. According to BBC reports, the Labour activists involved have taken leave from their official roles, and the trips are neither organized nor funded by the Labour Party. Instead, accommodation and logistics are being arranged by volunteers working with the Democratic campaign. While Labour officials have yet to issue an official comment on the matter, they emphasize that the individuals involved are acting independently of the party’s formal structures. In the Trump campaign’s view, this level of involvement by foreign nationals in U.S. elections amounts to interference. "The Harris campaign’s acceptance and use of this illegal foreign assistance is just another feeble attempt in a long line of anti-American election interference," the campaign's statement claims. The accusation adds to the heated rhetoric between the two sides as Election Day draws nearer. Under U.S. election laws, foreign nationals are prohibited from making direct contributions to federal, state, or local campaigns. However, according to the Federal Election Commission, a foreign national can participate in campaign activities as long as they are unpaid. The FEC guidelines clarify, "Although foreign nationals may not make contributions or expenditures in connection with any federal, state, or local election, an individual who is a foreign national may participate in campaign activities as an uncompensated volunteer." The Harris-Walz campaign has yet to respond to the allegations. Both the Trump campaign and the Labour Party have indicated that more information will likely emerge in the coming days, making this a developing story that could impact the final stretch of the election season. Whether these accusations will lead to any official investigations or sanctions remains to be seen, but the complaint has already added fuel to the contentious and polarized political climate ahead of the election.

Final Year University Student Arrested with 354 kg of Meths, Claims Father Set Her Up
Police from the Border Patrol Police Division 24 and Udon Thani Provincial Police held a press conference on October 22, announcing the arrest of Ms. Baitong, a 21-year-old fourth-year university student from Udon Thani, for possession of 354 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine, worth an estimated 354 million baht. The arrest took place in front of a hotel in Udon Thani on October 21. Acting on a tip-off about a planned drug delivery in the area, the police conducted a stakeout and observed a white Honda City, registration number from Udon Thani, parked in front of the hotel. At around 18:30, a woman later identified as Ms. Baitong approached the vehicle. Police officers revealed themselves and conducted a search. Inside the car, officers discovered 12 large multicolored sacks filled with 354 one-kilogram packages of dried tea leaves branded with Chinese logos. Upon closer inspection, the bags were found to contain crystal methamphetamine. Ms. Baitong was immediately arrested and taken into custody for further investigation. During questioning, Ms. Baitong claimed that her father, Vee, a 50-year-old Lao national, had contacted her asking her to hold some packages for him. She stated that she had no knowledge of the contents being drugs and believed she was simply doing a favour for her father. Ms. Baitong, who was raised by her grandparents after her parents separated, said her mother now lives abroad and supports her financially, while her father occasionally sends money. She tearfully recounted how her father would only contact her every few months and that she had never been involved in any of his illegal activities. Although she admitted to occasionally helping him drive, she insisted she did not know what he was transporting. On this occasion, her father told her to leave her car parked and that someone would load the items before she went to her hotel room. When she returned to the car, she was arrested. Visibly distressed, Ms. Baitong expressed her shock and devastation, stating, “I love my father so much, and I just wanted him to love me back. I had no idea he would do this to me. I’m a student in my final year, about to graduate, and now my life is ruined. I never received love from him, and now this is what I’m left with.” Ms. Baitong revealed that her father had called her the previous day, but she missed the call. Since her arrest, she has been unable to reach him, and her father has not returned her calls. Authorities are continuing their investigation and searching for her father, who remains at large.

Is this a scam at Phuket arrivals?
I think I paid around 1000 baht +. You can also have a buggy for extra baht. For me it was great, carried my hand luggage straight from debarking to immigration to baggage belt. I usually have a heavy bag or two. I don’t know if it was official or not, but the IOs were official and booked online with receipt etc. Done this for years. -

N Korea Sends Troops to Support Russia in Ukraine: Seoul Warns of a "Grave Security Threat"
Perhaps it will. South Korea Could Follow North Into Russia-Ukraine War A report said the government and military of South Korea "are reviewing a plan to send an appropriate number of personnel, including intelligence officers [specialized in North Korea] and experts in enemy tactics," to Ukraine, citing a South Korean intelligence official. South Korean personnel in Ukraine would interrogate or provide interpretation services if North Korean soldiers were captured by Ukrainian forces, the report said. They would also provide Kyiv with information about the North's military tactics, doctrine, and operations. The Defense Ministry of the South said at a press briefing later on Monday that it will review measures with "an open attitude" regarding possible supply of lethal weapons to Ukraine. Seoul has provided humanitarian aid to Kyiv during the Russia-Ukraine War. https://www.newsweek.com/south-korea-news-could-follow-north-russia-ukraine-war-1972082 -

Gang Clash Erupts at Night Market: Knives, Guns, & Chaos Leave One Severely Injured
Chaos broke out at a local night market when two rival gangs of teenagers turned the bustling area into a battleground, wielding knives and firing guns. The incident, which occurred in Buriram province, left one person critically injured, a motorbike stolen, and several market stalls damaged. According to reports, the violence erupted around 17:25 on October 21, when a group of teenagers, who had attended a local event in Ban Nong Hua, clashed at the market. The Facebook video posted by a witness showed the youths chasing and attacking each other with knives and guns, paying no heed to the panic-stricken crowd of shoppers, including crying children. Eyewitnesses described the market as being transformed into a dangerous arena, with stalls destroyed, and merchants and shoppers scrambling for safety. A food stall, in particular, was heavily damaged, as the gang members fought through the market. One man, identified as Banrern, 29, from the Nong Hua area, was severely injured after being slashed in the face. Udom, a 62-year-old market organiser, recounted that the two gangs, from Ban Nong Hua and Ban Hong Kai, had likely harboured tensions during the local kathin festival earlier that day. The groups reportedly agreed to meet and settle their differences in front of the market. In addition to knives, ping-pong bombs, and firearms were used during the brawl, shocking the entire community. Banrern’s mother, Rian, confirmed that her son had been transferred to Buriram Central Hospital in critical condition. She expressed confusion as to how her son, who had not attended the festival, got caught up in the violence. In addition, Banrern’s motorcycle was stolen during the chaos, and the family has filed a police report. Authorities are currently reviewing footage from the incident and working to apprehend those involved in the violence. Police have already identified suspects and are preparing to make arrests in connection with the brawl. Picture and video courtesy of Khaosod. -- 2024-10-23 RPReplay_Final1729596619.mp4
