They certainly had enough time now, to figure something out.

What a load of BS. Not officially notified! I do remember a few weeks back the NHRC told the police to go.there and explain... then there is the news about how they failed to show many times.

I guess they feel that they can justify how they obtained their confession now.

yes of course they will not allow the actual interrogators attend as they well let the cat out of the bag by letting the truth slip, they are using all the time possible instead to get their story straight and sending in someone versed in using innuendo and lies to dimiss all the allegations against them. This is turning into a first class clown act, the rtp are more crooked than a dogs hind leg

Gives them another 5 weeks to cook up a story!!

And will probably be after the trial of the B2, which means any torture allegations will be "forgotten"

"Torture, Oh no!!"

It is according to international interogation-standards to douse the suspects in petrol and threaten to set them alight!!

In this case they should remove the "R" in the RTP!! Whilst at it remove the "P" aswell!!

And why is a officer from the Metropolitan Police Bureau going to answer to the NHRC and not the guys, who actually were in charge of the interogation??

Big wai's all around and nothing is going to happen!!

Officially notified? When will someone stand up and not put up with this dribble?

I was hoping this was the type of change that most Thais were after, I try not to bash this place or the people, but why doesn't anyone care?

...I found some awesome resemblances between the way this guy and Chalerm speak!

Utter nonsense from both mouths...

Set them free!

So arrogant. So now after 4 appeals to cooperate with the National Human Rights Commission and 5 sessions of detainment for the stitched up Burmese, this codger wants to cooperate. Well, thank you so very much commander Blop for your kindly response.

@Sviss Geez. Have you ever considered contributing anything to the thread-topic (any thread) instead of your cheap shots at other posters??

Gets a little boooooring!!

Hands up who believes the RTP..... ever......

usually the police's reputation for torture is enough to get a suspect to confess, most of the torture is for the kicks of some sicko police

The RTP are just bubble bubbling now. They are &lt;deleted&gt; in their tiny Thai asses again.

When someone can be detained for months without a official charge when obviously there are plenty of holes in the case. In the same country someone of a different standing can get sentenced to life in prison and be allowed to go home on bail?

Yeah I think I will keep dribbling, someone should!

Utter Bull c--p, and nothing changes!

"The spokesman insisted that previously the NPO was not officially notified to explain to the panel and did not do so."

Those 4 summons must have been buried under the paperwork that hasn't been, oops! sorry!, Has been submitted to the procecutors 4 times. (And rejected)

"..choose to give the explanation on November 24 or December 29, the police decided to opt for December 29"

(Let's get through the High-Season first. Don't want to raise any eyebrows...)

Whatta surprise...

Wait a minute, wasn't everything Perfect?

Classic traits of a Troll.

I don't know why anyone bothers to respond to it.

I blocked the gnat long ago...

Knat was a typo?

I agree.

Right you are!

Gnat.

This Generals an Colonels, it is just bull hit. Corruption everywhere. The big boss should take ba look bin to this case. I`m sure he would release this two innocent young guys. That would be an act of grace.

What's the point of this exercise anyway?

The RTP will say "No we never tortured them".

The NHRC will say "Thank you for clarifying".

Prayut will say "See, I told you so".

We will all say "Liars"

Waste of time and energy.

I'm sticking with the cup half full attitude at the moment thanks DLock.

Posters here may want to look at it from another angle,

There is an increase in pressure on the police in this case,

It is coming from many directions now

right on cue, would be something from Burma next.

it's too bad no oe has anonymously posted any damning photos of the bar that night,

an utter shame that the friends of the raped and murdered have not found their way to "social media"

They will cooperate. They just need a little bit more time to teach every witness the truth.

The case is still getting press in the UK which is good. The delays in showing up must be desperate hope that the whole thing will be forgotten.

The delay tactic is a legal manuever, nothing more, nothing less

A finding of torture now, with the amount of eyes on this case?

international pressure may not be evident, but it's ever present in the minds of the guilty

yes of course they will not allow the actual interrogators attend as they well let the cat out of the bag by letting the truth slip, they are using all the time possible instead to get their story straight and sending in someone versed in using innuendo and lies to dimiss all the allegations against them.

But nothing "R" in RTP.
