Six More Arrests In Bangkok Terror Raid

By Teeranai Charuvastra, Staff Reporter

 

Police commandos raid a building Monday in Bangkok as part of a counterterrorism operation.

 

BANGKOK — Police operations in connection with reports of an plot to detonate car bombs in the capital city continued Saturday, with six more people taken into custody, bringing the known number of people in detention to 21.

 

The sweeping arrests, which began Monday, alarmed civil right groups because authorities have not disclosed the whereabouts of many of the suspects or when they will be released. There are also concerns the military, not police, is holding the suspects.

As I've said before, absolutely  no evidence at all, simply arresting innocent  people, here they claim most are kratom users, geez RTP,  you are just lowlife, even if they are users, how do they justify the raids on terrorism  grounds.

Got to look as if something's being done and is successful.

 

If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.

Oh the police-bodywarmer from MBK.....and they even brought a photographer with them during the raid?

Perhaps these suspects could be kept under house arrest at the homes of the leaders of the civil rights group?

 

Actions speak a thousand words more...

Would it be better if they waited until they set off a few bombs?

They did a great job IMO - lock 'em up til they are convinced they are not guilty - forever if they have any doubts - execute if guilty.  These process of laws the liberal human rights wackos complain about were written for normal human beings who commit crimes (murder, robbery, rape, drugs, etc). These are not suspected criminals, they are suspected terrorists and as such they do not and should not come under the 'due process of law' when it comes to apprehension and detention - for obvious reasons (obvious except to liberals - that includes all human rights organisations and civil liberties groups). If they ran the world any soldier who shot at an opponent before proving he was an enemy combatant would be charged and convicted of some human rights law breach. A few in jail for years with no charges and a few more executed, and all done ignoring all the idiotic civil liberty groups, will make others think twice before deciding to kill innocent people with bombs (and that could just as easily be you or I).

 

The problem with arbitrary arrests, regardless of where, is that we are never sure if actual "bad" guys are being interned or political opponents. Hence the rule of law, indeed a faulty system, but at least the authorities are obliged to prove malfeasance.

So........have and relatives or friends of those arrested come forward to claim political persecution, or are you just flying a kite?

I doubt they would come forward. Too busy procreating more...

Around the world, governments are using the rule of law to clamp down on their enemies.  Under the guise of the wars on drugs and terror, our rights to security in our homes, thoughts and words are going the way of the dodo.

 

Nixon's (and most Repubs') enemies were blacks and hippies.  Hence the draconian laws on crack cocaine and marijuana.  The FBI and IRS are used repeatedly against entities that the powers that be don't like.  Police departments around the USA are arresting and confiscating money from drivers- with only a vague suspicion of ill gotten gains.  In the UK, it seems just associating with people committing crimes is enough to get locked up for decades.

 

So it's certainly not unique to less-than-transparent governments, including Thailand.  Sadly, they're in crowded company nowadays.

You are probably right as the RTP doesn't seem to know about SURVEILANCE.

You know that process used by  professional police forces to confirm INTENT, ORGANIZATION, TARGETS, etc. - all the things necessary to not only assure meaningful apprehension but to assure protection of planned targets.

Otherwise, law enforcement might waste time and resources pursuing innocent people or low-level compartmentalized participants while allowing the organizers to escape and further replan their efforts.

The irony! Enemies are blacks and hippies. Cracked down with draconian laws. And this produced a black president... ?

I believe you're glossing over the 40 years of history that have transpired since Nixon.

All govts are the real enemy in the world.These draconian laws are to control the people and anybody who opposes them is put away,one way or another.Some of the people have woken up that the powers are just playing us off against each other for their own gain.

Life's a $hit sandwich.  The more bread you have, the less $hit you have to eat.

 

"Suspected" terrorists are better in the slammer than walking the streets.  The niceties of determining whether the threat was real or otherwise can come later, but after the big boom, killing dozens or hundreds, there are those who will be bleating "I told you so" if they weren't incarcerated.

 

Regrettably there are those opposing that course of action, and they will be the same ones bleating if a terrorist attack is carried out.

And jobs lost and families going hungry and reputations in ruins, even if they're eventually exonerated and released.

I see. So detaining 21 scapegoats will stop the boom boom boom?

Where's the EVIDENCE to show they are terrorists, where's the evidence of bombs... geez

They have shown NO proof at all, in fact of 40 previously arrested only 15 remain in detention, or so they say. So, why where 25, if not more, arrested in the first place. You do know what PROOF is, don't you.

Good for the RTP and The Military.  If you are a

suspect it's because of the people you associate 

with

 

In The States every Murder of innocent people by

terrorists could possibly,have been prevented if the

terrorists and their families had been detained and

questioned.  But the pussy PC politicians are afraid 

to use profiling.   I say if you suspect a terrorist, due to

phone messages, inside wire taps, Internet chatter:. You

should have the legal right to detain the person, spouse,

mother, father, sister,brother if they are all in close proximity 

even the dog if it will prevent the murder of innocent shoppers

at a mall, nightclub, or walking the streets.  Hard line, yes; but

if people are willing to kill innocent people, you need hard line 

tactics.
