Move Forward MP demands probe into death of a conscript

[webfact]

 

Move Forward MP for Bangkok Tisana Choonhavan has called on the army to investigate the suspected suicide of a conscript, who used to be her assistant, to disclose the autopsy results and to scrap conscription.

 

In her “X” post yesterday, the MP wrote that she had received a message from a close friend of her former assistant, informing her that he had hanged himself in the toilet of an army barracks.

 

She claimed that she had received messages from the former assistant, complaining of stress and having to perform household chores for his commander, such as sweeping the floors in his house, mowing the lawns and, during the night, his fellow conscripts smoked grass, making it hard for him to sleep.

Conscription is usually a good idea but not when it provides servants to the Generals.

The conscripts are nothing but servants for the elite over employed commanders.
