Report Thai Parliament Faces Hate Crime Pressure
Picture courtesy of MovED - People’s Movement to Eliminate Discrimination Facebook page Rights groups in Thailand are urging the government to address hate crimes following the murder of a transgender sex worker in Pattaya, allegedly by a Chinese national. On Thursday, they presented a petition in parliament, demanding robust legal measures and accountability from the Chinese embassy. This move comes as concerns mount about the handling of hate crimes and the safety of marginalised communities. The petition, backed by 54 civil society organisations and 151 individuals, was spearheaded by the Rainbow Sky Association of Thailand, the People’s Movement to Eliminate Discrimination, and other allied groups. It calls for comprehensive definitions of “hate crime” and “hate speech” in Thai law, distinct from general offences. Penalties for hate crimes that lead to death, injury, or property damage should increase by at least a third, it suggests. Other demands include better data collection on hate crimes to inform policy and enhanced training for law enforcement officers to identify and prosecute these offences effectively. The petition also presses for the drafting and enforcement of modern legal protections for sex workers, reflecting the urgent need for legislative reform. The embassy’s accountability is another focal point, with calls for improved mechanisms aligning with international human rights standards. Caesar Rittiwong, deputy director of human rights with RSAT, highlighted the community-wide impact of hate crimes, stressing they are often misclassified due to a lack of legal clarity. She urged lawmakers to treat hate crimes as a significant threat, necessitating targeted legal actions and precise definitions. Nachale Boonyapisomparn, president of the Sister Foundation, referred to a World Bank report that underscores a global and regional lack of legal protections for LGBTQ+ individuals. The report advocates for better systems to track, train, and support victims, arguing that Thailand must advance its legal frameworks to ensure inclusivity and safety. In summary, the petition underscores the urgent need for Thailand to redefine and address hate crimes adequately. Significant legal and policy changes are demanded to safeguard lives, ensure justice, and promote a community that values diversity over prejudice. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-05-09 -

Crime Schoolboy Fatally Stabbed in Nakhon Si Thammarat Following Dispute at Wedding Celebration
Pictured courtesy of SiamNews. A 14-year-old schoolboy has died and another is in critical condition following a violent altercation between students at a local wedding celebration in Chian Yai District, southern Thailand. Police from Karaket Police Station were alerted by staff at Chian Yai Hospital that a boy had died after being brought in with stab wounds. Officers rushed to the scene, where they confirmed the death of Surasak (nickname: F), a Matthayom 1 student. He had been stabbed twice in the chest. According to the police investigation, Surasak had attended a live music performance at a wedding reception held at Wat Tha Lipong Schoolalongside two school friends: Jirapan (Palm) and Surachet (Sun), all aged 14. During the festivities, the trio became involved in a heated dispute with another group of boys, including Pannawit (Win), a 14-year-old Matthayom 2 student from the same school, Natthanayothin (Pap), aged 14, Chaiyawat (Nice), aged 12, and an older male, Suchart (Kings), aged 22. While the initial altercation during the music performance was broken up without serious incident, tensions simmered. After the music ended, the two groups met behind the school hall near the toilets, purportedly to “settle” their disagreement. Witnesses reported that a verbal exchange quickly escalated into violence. The two central figures, Surasak and Pannawit, engaged in a physical fight, during which both reportedly pulled out short knives. Each was stabbed twice in the chest during the confrontation. In the chaos, Jirapan also sustained minor knife injuries. Local residents intervened and rushed the injured to nearby hospitals. Surasak and Jirapan were taken to Chian Yai Hospital, while Pannawit was transported to Chaloem Phra Kiat Hospital in the neighbouring district. Sadly, Surasak succumbed to his injuries shortly after arrival, unable to survive the severity of the chest wounds. Investigators later inspected the scene of the incident, discovering signs of a struggle, including large amounts of blood outside the toilet area and beside a temporary storage building. Meanwhile, Pannawit remains in critical condition due to serious internal injuries and blood loss. He was transferred from Chaloem Phra Kiat Hospital to Maharaj Nakhon Si Thammarat Hospital for urgent treatment. Police are continuing their investigation and are expected to take further legal action following medical recovery and forensic results. Adapted by Asean Now from SiamNews 2025-05-09. -
