He was the headman of Moo 14 in tambon Nong Nae and core leader of the protest against Fusion Development Co, which dumped toxic industrial waste in the area in 2007 and polluted the air and river. Locals claimed that this pollution cut down on their agricultural produce.In Nong Nae village, industrial waste is disposed in nine sites by other companies, but only a third of them are legal. Chachoengsao province has about 11 toxic-waste disposal sites and some com-panies have released cancer-|causing substances into a natural reservoir, which provides drinking water.Penchom Saetang, the director of non-profit Ecological Alert and Recovery Thailand (Earth), said the case proved that officials had a hand in the corruption.She said related government bodies in charge of eco-protection should be restructured in order to ensure that they have greater accountability and transparency. Local residents also have to be allowed to inspect their work.Source: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/national/Senior-official-gets-death-over-activists-murder-30250607.html-- The Nation 2014-12-25 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robblok Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 The 3 defendants are out on bail and all will appeal, aren't they? Expect a final verdict in about 15 years I have to agree you see this kind of bail for serious offences quite often. Its crazy though on the other hand as long as you can appeal should you be in jail. Just imagine if your put in jail innocent and have to wait out all your appeals in jail. Two sides to the medal though in most cases bail is really abused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
american12bthai Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 the leaders of the western world, china, japan, and the rest of asia are in danger of whip-lash (shaking head syndrome) . actually, china kills off many, many, people who taint the countrys image. like the guys who put the plastic in the milk? their dead. the guys who cut corners on building permits and the building collapsed? their dead. and countless politicians are in jail for such petty things all the way to big ones. THAIS (the politicians) should be very, very affraid to be like china. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwyn Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Surely the fearless leader would be better spending a bit of his time addressing the issues of toxic waste and cancer causing toxins being dumped into drinking water sources than pissballing about with motorbike taxi driver vests? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are not telling the truth about the bail; is that libel or slander, I get them mixed up. But maybe I'm wrong. Show me a link and I'll certainly apologize.

I don't see they are out on bail this time. Though they have appealed, they could be out on bail it does not say it. So your right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAIS (the politicians) should be very, very affraid to be like china. The P.R.C. holds People, both either in Political or Business Authority, accountable for their actions. I believe it goes far beyond tainting the Countries image. Those that violate their Authority are in direct confrontation with the very principles of the State. The end result, a short walk to the firing squad area. I don't have any problem with that at all. Unfortunately, not all those involved get the message while they are violating the Public Trust, and only learn the hard way, when their wrists are tied behind the stake. Good for the P.R.C., continue to take the garbage out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I assume the poster above meant to say he ASSUMED these guys would be out on bail, considering how common it is here for convicted murderers to be released on bail post-conviction. But the news report doesn't actually say anything on that subject. As for the death sentence, I wouldn't be sitting here holding my breath waiting for it to happen. About a 100 different things could happen between now and the imposition of that sentence that would see it never come to pass. And the guy sentenced to death here isn't exactly some petty street criminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you assume anything. He is trying to start a false rumor. He wrote what he wrote. Easy for anyone to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
