As the state avoided questions about whether the Tak Bai slaughter case’s statute of limitations may be extended, cyclists on Wednesday pedaled” for gas” on the same route where about 80 arrested protesters from the Narathiwat district of Tak Bai suffocated on defense trucks in 2004.
Before setting off on motorbikes on a 145-kilometer-long path to the Ingkhayutthaborihan military station in the Nong Chik city of Pattani, a group of bikers, including Malay, prayed for the spirits of the dead patients in front of the Tak Bai police station.
In honor of the protesters who suffocated on the way to Pattani after a assault in Tak Bai in October 2004, rider Muhammadaladi Dengni said they “pedal on the way for gas.” The symbolic gathering was planned because the Tak Bai slaughter case’s 20-year statute of limitations may disappear on Friday, he said.
Authorities from the Nong Chik place facilitated customers for the cyclists.
The anger of the neighborhood will remain and could lead to future conflicts, according to Mr. Muhammadaladi, unless 14 suspects in the case retreat and provide the justice system. The show was handled by military officers in particular, with the majority of the suspects.  ,
Because the assault on the demonstrators heavily violated human rights, the National Human Rights Commission has issued a statement in response to the government’s request to compensate those who were impacted by the Tak Bai murder case.
Statute of limitations
Justice Minister Tawee Sodsong and Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra sat down to answer writers ‘ issues regarding the possibility of the government is issuing an executive order to, for example, extend the statute of limitations in the Tak Bai situation.
On October 25, 2004, 1, 500 local activists gathered in front of the Narathiwat’s Tak Bai area to obscenely demand the release of military participants who had been detained for allegedly handing weapon to rebels, while also reporting it to the specialists as weapons fraud.
Security forces decided to disperse the crowd as the number of protesters increased, leading to seven fatalities on the spot and 78 more when more than 1,300 protesters were loaded into military vehicles headed for the Ingkhayutthaborihan Military Camp in Pattani’s Nong Chik area. Suffocation was cited as the cause of the numerous fatalities.
The Tak Bai event happened during then-prime secretary Thaksin Shinawatra’s career.
