PATTANI: -- The National Human Rights Commission has condemned the killing of a pregnant woman by suspected southern militants in Panareh district of Pattani on Saturday, calling it a brutal and inhuman act.

 

The victim, Ms Rattikarn Chamwang, who was nine months pregnant, and another woman, Mrs Saijai Thongdee, were standing in front of a stall selling fried chicken in Palat market when an assailant, believed to be southern militant, approached them from behind and shot at both of them at point-blank range before escaping.

 

Both were later rushed to the district hospital where Ms Rattikarn was pronounced dead. Doctors tried unsuccessfully to save the life of the unborn baby. Mrs Saijai was wounded and hospitalized.

 

The NHRC said in a statement issued on Sunday that the killing of pregnant woman was brutal and inhuman. It pointed out that, in the past few months, there were several cases of violence being perpetrated against woman, children and the elderly in public places despite efforts by authorities concerned to deal with the perpetrators.

Avoided using "insurgents or militants."

My Thai family was scared to travel  to Pattani  or  Yala  over 15

years  ago.  Now they  do not even want to travel by car to Phuket

from Bangkok.  They  take  the  VIP  buses  and  are  even worried

until  they  get to Phuket  City.
