ALLSEEINGEYE Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Could this happen in Thailand... those that criticise the incumbent government just vanish... Really? Do you have some examples of this? Most of the disappeared people I have heard of in the 13 years that I have lived here have gone missing while previous administrations were in power. Any comment on that or are you just anti-incumbent? I can't think of any people that have gone missing in Thailand recently because of their anti-government views. The only missing people i Know of have fled the country to avoid criminal prosecution for corruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil B Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) I did not say it was happening, but could it happen in the near future? And I am not just referring to the Chinese influence on Thailand and how they would deal with such people but also how the Junta of Argentina dealt with it as well... if you do not know what I mean the just google Argentina & desaparecidos Edited January 5, 2016 by Basil B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
botfly Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 It's a lie. Someone holds a gun to your head you will write anything. A more reliable source is South China Morning Post or Weibo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
