Crime Two Men Wanted on Immigration & Drug Warrants Arrested at Checkpoint
Picture courtesy of Daily News. Two Thai men wanted on arrest warrants for separate criminal charges involving illegal immigrants and narcotics were apprehended at a police checkpoint in Tak province on 28 July, after raising suspicions during a routine stop. The arrest followed an operation led by Region 6 Provincial Police and coordinated with Tak Provincial Police and officers from Mae Tho Police Station. Officers stationed at the Thale checkpoint in Mae Tho District noticed two men arriving on a motorcycle behaving suspiciously. A preliminary search revealed no illegal items, but a subsequent records check confirmed both were fugitives. The suspects, identified as Mr. Khamkaew 20, and Mr. Mananchai, 31, are both residents of Tak province. Mr. Khamkaew is wanted for harbouring and assisting illegal migrants in evading arrest, while Mr. Mananchai faces charges of producing, importing, exporting, distributing or possessing Category 1 narcotics. The operation was ordered by Pol. Lt. Gen. Kittisak Durongkhiboon, Commissioner of Provincial Police Region 6, alongside senior officers including Pol. Maj. Gen. Nattawut Phakphum, Pol. Maj. Gen. Raweepat Amramuneepong, and other key investigators from the region. The men were detained and transferred to investigators for legal proceedings. Authorities say the arrests form part of a broader campaign to pursue outstanding warrants and crack down on transnational crimes along the Thai-Myanmar border region. Further investigations are ongoing. Adapted by Asean Now from Daily News 2025-07-30 -

Report Aussie Women Get Green Light to Sue Qatar Airways for Airport Ordeal
Picture courtes y of Lukas Souza/Unsplash Five Australian women have cleared a major hurdle, gaining the right to sue Qatar Airways. The case stems from a 2020 incident at Doha airport, where they were strip-searched after a baby was found abandoned. Initially, a judge dismissed their case, citing limited airline accountability. The women's appeal argued that the initial ruling, which exempted Qatar Airways under global travel laws, was flawed. Now, Australia's Federal Court has overturned this, allowing the lawsuit to proceed. The women are seeking damages for the invasive searches, which they say resulted in severe mental trauma. This legal battle, initiated in 2021, targets Qatar Airways, Qatar's Civil Aviation Authority, and airport operator Matar. The women allege "unlawful physical contact" and false imprisonment, aiming for justice for the ordeal they endured alongside similar searches affecting UK and New Zealand travellers. All parties involved originally pushed for the case to be dismissed. In April 2024, Justice John Halley ruled against Qatar Airways' liability under the Montreal Convention. He argued that the airline's staff couldn't have influenced Qatari police actions or the examinations conducted onsite. While the case against Qatar's aviation regulator was dismissed due to immunity from foreign prosecution, avenues remain open against Qatar Airways and Matar. Justices Angus Stewart, Debra Mortimer, and James Stellios underscored the necessity for trial-based deliberation, allowing the case to move forward. The women, whose UK and NZ counterparts aren't part of this suit, maintain their harrowing experience demands justice. Their lawyer, Damian Sturzaker, expressed relief at the decision, emphasising their deserved compensation and courtroom opportunities. The incident caused lasting repercussions, with accounts of immense distress. One woman recounted the ordeal as akin to being "raped," while another felt she was being kidnapped, highlighting the severe emotional aftermath, reported BBC. The invasive searches sparked a significant global outcry at the time. Despite a criminal charge that resulted in a suspended sentence for an airport official, the women view pursuing this legal route as essential because they believe Qatari authorities have taken insufficient action. They have called for a formal apology and changes to airport procedures to prevent repeat incidents. The case is now primed for trial in the Federal Court, spotlighting an indispensable pursuit for accountability and change. The implications of this proceeding could resonate widely, advocating for the protection of traveller rights in sensitive security procedures. Adapted by ASEAN Now from BBC 2025-07-30 -
