HUMAN RIGHTS

Law officers still in breach

KING-OUA LAOHONG

Many law enforcement officers breach human rights laws, says the chief of the Department of Special Investigation (DSI). The DSI wanted law enforcement agencies to reduce human right violations among their staff, DSI chief Pol Col Thawee Sodsong told a human rights seminar yesterday.

The DSI wanted to lift the standard of criminal investigation by law enforcement officers. It was encouraging police not to violate people's human rights as they attempt to gather information and evidence, said Pol Col Thawee.

Human rights violations by law enforcement officers occurred continually and the law requires that those cases are handled by the DSI.

Among such incidents were the 2004 murder of Charoen Wat-aksorn who led a protest against the construction of two coal-fired power plants in Prachuap Khiri Khan's Bo Nok district; and the murder of Phra Supoj Suvajo, a conservationist monk in Chaiyaphum.

Others were the disappearance of a Saudi businessman and murder of Saudi diplomats in Bangkok, the abduction of lawyer Somchai Neelaphaijit, and victims of extra-judicial killing during the Thaksin government's War on Drugs campaign.

As per usual--the lunatics are running the asylum--this place will never clean up it's act.

Human rights violations by law enforcement officers occurred continually....

I wonder if the use of the past tense here is appropriate.

I get your point cloudhopper and this in no way suggests it has stopped now, is certainly still happening, and so, we await the exposure of new offences.

As the article refers to offences that happened in the past yes ( my take only ) in relation to the article and the statement.

Going on what took place in Udonthani 2 days ago that,s being debated on the Isaan forum, and the non action of the police to enforce law and order ?????? it won,t be long in the waitng of it, i,m loathe to say.
