The People’s Party ( PP ) has warned that if the statute of limitations for the Tak Bai massacre expires without justice being shown to be served, it will only raise questions about how the legal system of the country acts in accordance with international law.
Rangsiman Rome, the party’s deputy president and record MP, told the legislature on Tuesday that injustice breeds hostility and that it was day local occupants had their concerns eased up about like “double standards.”
He made reference to the former senior officials ‘ indictments in the Tak Bai city of Narathiwat on October 25, 2004.
Some of the defendants, including Pheu Thai Party record MP Gen Pisal Wattanawongkiri, have not reported to the judge to recognize the prosecution.
They will no longer be able to get held illegally liable if they do not do so by Oct. 25 when the statute of limitations expires.
Gen Pisal was in charge of the Fifth Army Place that was a part of the Tak Bai murder, which took place when security forces stormed a rally in front of the officers station in the Tak Bai area. The activists were requesting the launch of six prisoners.
Seven protesters died at the scene, and 78 people died from asphyxia or tissue loss as they were taken to a military hospital 140 kilometers away in Pattani’s Nong Chik area.
Gen Pisal requested and received a leave of absence from Deputy House Speaker Gen Pichet Chuamuangpha for health care worldwide, according to a report from last week.
Is it uncertain whether he will come back in time for the prosecution.
Gen Pisal has received harsh criticism from critics for allegedly attempting to avoid the test.
Mr Rangsiman said Gen Pisal may stand trial, and if he does not, it is the president’s responsibility to ensure he is brought before a prosecutor.
He claimed that Pheu Thai’s father, Thai Rak Thai, which is accused of neglecting people ‘ needs and failing to provide justice in an adequate manner, has a history of local disdain of the officials.
Under the present Pheu Thai leadership, he said, “more and more people are giving the impression that they are experiencing deja deja.”
