A military camp in Lopburi has come under scrutiny following reports of two soldiers being subjected to severe punishment late at night, leading to their admission into the intensive care unit (ICU).

 

The soldiers were allegedly ordered to continue working immediately after being discharged from the emergency room. Former candidate for MP in Constituency 10, Chon Buri, for the now-defunct Move Forward Party, Nichanan Wangkahat, received the complaint from a concerned citizen within the camp. The incident reportedly occurred last night.

 

“Please investigate. These young soldiers were discharged from the ICU at 5am today and were not allowed to rest. They were ordered to continue working. When will the violent punishments end?”

According to the concerned citizen, one of the soldiers was dragged across a concrete floor. Following the incident, families of the soldiers have been unable to contact them, raising suspicions that their mobile phones and Facebook accounts may have been confiscated. The families are deeply worried and have requested the commanding officers to investigate and ensure the safety of the soldiers, as well as to provide a clear explanation of the events.

The situation in the military camp in Lopburi has sparked concern among the families and the community, prompting calls for an urgent review of the disciplinary measures employed within the camp. The alleged use of violence in punishing the soldiers has raised serious questions about the practices and policies in place, and whether they align with the standards of humane treatment and respect for the rights of military personnel, reported KhaoSod.

Lock the perpetrators up!

Code Red - not only in the US (A few good men - it the name of the movie). 

Wondering why this country has an army to start with - apart from yearly promotions and a permit for looting for the higher ups. In most other countries the army is called into immediate service and assistance in case of a catastrophe - like the recent floods. They (should) have the (possibly) trained manpower, the (eventually still working) equipment for such major undertakings yet I never heard of anyone calling for the army to serve its country when in need (apart from ridiculous parades and the self-profiling neuroses during children's day at the beginning of the year)
