Somchai, Chavalit and police blamed for Oct7

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has held many high-profile figures, including Somchai Wongsawat, Chavalit Yongchaiyudh and Pol Gen Patcharawat Wongsuwan, responsible for the violence on October 7.

Two people were killed and hundreds injured in running clashes on the streets of central Bangkok.

On that day, People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) demonstrators surrounded Parliament House in a bid to prevent Somchai's government declaring its policies. Somchai, a brother in-law of ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, was widely seen as Thaksin's puppet.

Police used teargas to disperse the PAD mob, but exploding canisters saw several protesters lose limbs.

The bloody crackdown prompted PAD demonstrators to clash with police throughout the day.

However, Somchai successfully declared his policies and did not order police to stop using force.

The NHRC has looked into the October 7 violence, questioning witnesses and reviewing evidence.

Doctors, forensic-science experts, policemen, reporters and demonstrators all gave witness accounts.

The NHRC probe has concluded that Somchai and his then deputy Chavalit should be held responsible for the violence because they were the ones who gave instructions to police.

Patcharawat, who was then national police commissioner, and 11 other high-ranking policemen were also charged with violating human rights.

NHRC also said the actions of Patcharawat and these 11 other policemen could be construed as offences in terms of colluding to harm other people and even pre-meditated murder.

The 11 policemen are Gen Pansiri Prapawat, Gen Wiroj Paholvej, Gen Jongrak Juthanont, Lt Gen Suchart Muankaew, Maj Gen Wiboon Bangthamai, Maj Gen Likhit Klin-uan, Maj Gen Ekarat Meepreecha, Maj Gen Chaktip Chaijinda, Maj Gen Sriwara Rangsiphramanakul, Col Leuchai Sudyod and Maj Gen Amnuay Nimmano.

Patcharawat was transferred to an inactive post after the police chief failed to remove PAD protesters from Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports.

Somchai, however, lost his premiership early this month because the Constitution Court dissolved his People Power Party and banned all its executives including Somchai from engaging in politics for five years.

Chavalit resigned his post in the afternoon of October 7 to take responsibility for the violence that erupted.

Surasee Kosolnawin, who heads an NHRC panel, yesterday said the probe results had been forwarded to the National Counter Corruption Commission for further action.

Unquote

It was a truly horrendous, violent confrontation, captured for all the world to witness, courtesy of live T.V. outlets and media.

May the culprits get deserved punishment and the victims justice at the very least from this important report / article.

May those who oversaw this evil within the government at the time be taken to account for their part, first and foremost, because they could as in previuos violations by their puppet master / sponsor, have prevented / stopped this happening in the first place.

This, let us not forget was not against rioting protesters, but against innocents who were exercising their rights to peaceful demonstration, according to Thai law and the constitution.

The TRT Mark 1 and Mark 2 yet again, seemingly compliment their blatant refusal to recognise the basic rights of individuals as and when they carried out these dispicable actions. on various seperate occasions.

Then again this is to be expected as they are / were both overseen by a certain CEO in exile, and on the run from the law for what in relation to this, the EJK,s and the killing of the unarmed victims of the southern attrocities, is seemingly minor by comparison.

your commentary is cute

[londonthai]

it's the same commision, whos chairman Saneh Chamarik, defended the 2006 military coup and was called to resign?

now, lets see how Asian Human Rights Commission, to which NHRC is affiliated, will react.

their last statement about thailand from 26.112008 http://www.ahrchk.net/statements/mainfile....tatements/1779/

exposed PAD as a far-right politicians responsible for political murder and associated with thai military

earlier discussed

Sondhi and Chamlong should rot in he_l for putting innocent people at risk.

[Koo82]

The yellows did that to Ex-PM Somchai. Khun Somchai is blamed.

If the reds do the same thing to the current PM, the reds will be blamed.

See you next week.

[Koo82]

The said protest was an illegal one. Why do they have the ball to sue Police, Khun Somchai and Khun Chavalit?

Is the NHRC trying to be stupid or what?

[Koo82]

Those Pro-PAD are so quiet in this topic.

Until yesterday evening when I watched Truth Today on tv, there is no arrest order to PAD leaders but they already had one(s) for reds who damaged the cars of betraying snakes on 15 Dec.

Are rai wa? Something can be kept in file in 15 years and will expire. Something has to be judged asap.

Do they think we Thais don't know which is which?

Chamlong was in the jail when it happened so he could not put anyone anywhere.
