Young Man to Sue Thai Police After Six-Day Detention Drama

[webfact]

Nakhon Si Thammarat -  23-year-old man, known only as "Puris," is planning to take legal action against local police for detaining him for six days on an attempted murder charge—despite clear evidence of his innocence.

 

Young Puris claims he was wrongfully arrested and used as a scapegoat by the police who, as he insists, lacked strong evidence to hold him.

 

His freedom came with a heartfelt effort by his uncle, Boonserm Thongsong, who gathered crucial proof proving that his nephew was not involved in any criminal activity related to the alleged murder.

 

Boonserm condemned the police, asserting they ignored witness accounts and other evidence pointing to Puris’ innocence.

 

 

 

Despite the significant claims, the Nakhon Si Thammarat police chief has remained silent, with no comments available at this time, raising questions about accountability within the force.

 

Thailand's legal system now comes under the microscope as the case gains traction, with public attention focusing on the integrity of police conduct.

 

While Puris considers suing for justice, the broader implications against wrongful detentions and their impact on innocent lives take centre stage. The tale serves as a poignant reminder of the tensions existing between citizens and law enforcement.

 Yes there's tensions, but why? 

 

Simple answer, way less than professional recruitment and training, less than balanced actions in many cases, reporting often displays that there's 'holes' in the police responses and reporting etc.

"based on a story ..."  Why is it called a story?

 

Should it not be based on a report....

[Andycoops]

The words, integrity and accountability should never be used when mentioning the police unless used with the word no or non in front.

I don't think they meant it that way, BUT! If you are going to search for Integrity,

The Microscope is the correct Optical Device in a such search.  (The observable quantities

are not very large~)

Yes, indeed. Sort of "Wild Wild East" 

btw, he is lucky to be alive. 

[jcmj]

Even if he wins he would probably only get compensated for lost wages. They don’t really do pain and suffering here. Good luck

It will boil down to who has the most power and political leverage.  Best to have bullet-proof glass in your car windows too methinks.
