Koh Tao investigators have until Nov 24 to explain themselves: NHRC

[Artisi]

as for the people that think they know what is going on in this case , wake up to yourselves , your only information is coming from poorly translated media reports. none of us know a damn thing about this case, the guilt of the suspects nor the competency of the investigation team

Where have you been hiding?

Comatosed more likely.

I actually feel kinda sorry for the cops on lower rungs of the ladder. They are required to mimic whatever directives come down from on high. They are not allowed to even put forth alternative ideas or scenarios. All in the hopes that they will someday be the top bananas themselves, if they play their cards right and pay their way up the promotion ladder. So even if some lower ranking cops have strong feelings (or knowledge) that the investigation is off the tracks, they are duty-bound to not speak up.

If police fail to meet the new deadline, he said at the November 26 NHRC meeting he will propose that the commission lodge a complaint and take legal action against concerned police officers in accordance with the NHRC Act's Article 34.

At this point Thailand will have an opportunity to show its colours regarding Human Rights.

Thailand show that every day and dosent look good indeed

Today, Nov. 25, ....has there been any official explaining to NHRC? Didn't think so. It's like trying to get 8 yr old Somchai to wash his hands before a meal after playing outside in the mud. Somchai goes in the hong nam, you can hear water splashing, but ....did he really wash with soap, or just make the right noises?

Currently, Thai officialdom is not even making the right noises.

This is just the typical Thai way of dealing with anything remotely unpleasant. just ignore it and hope it goes away. And it usually works. It's already fading away.

Many people are trying to clear the imigrants supposed to be involved. Why nothing from the Myanmar govt?

thanks for the link to the DVB.NO article (from Norway).

12 Burmese experts, including forensic experts. The plot thickens. If there's quaking going on in some Thai officials' boots, then they completely deserve it.

Am looking forward to official statements from the Brits, but am also prepared to be let down by them, if they deem it's more important to be diplomatic than honest.

We will all be let down and in a month it will be back to business as usual. I really hope I'm wrong. I would love nothing. More than to see some deserving thai heads roll, for once.
