Opposition seeks probe into anti-graft body

NACC’s management of the Prawit view case continues to be of significant concern.

Opposition members are also seeking a review of the ethics of Suchart Trakulkasemsuk, the newly appointed president of the National Anti-Corruption Commission.
Opposition members are likewise seeking a review of the morality of Suchart Trakulkasemsuk, the newly appointed president of the National Anti-Corruption Commission.

According to criticism head Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut, the opposition has formally petitioned House Speaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha to request an investigation into the National Anti-Corruption Commission’s management of a number of high-profile misconduct situations.

First, he stated that the union is calling for an investigation into the five NACC people ‘ decision to appoint a fact-finding team to examine past deputy prime minister Prawit Wongsuwon’s behavior after he accepted the position. He also stated that the organization is calling for the release of an asset charter.

Gen Prawit was accused of failing to involve at least 22 comfort watches and jewelry in his mandated property declaration while serving in the Prayut Chan-o-cha case. Eventually, he claimed that his mother gave him the jewelry and that he had them loaned to him.

Five people of the committee voted to abandon the exploration, despite the NACC’s decision to continue with it. Following the ruling, the Administrative Court filed a petition demanding that the organization release the investigation’s details to the press.

An activist who had petitioned to see the report turned it over received a copy of it, but it was strongly redacted.

But, as the NACC ignored the judge’s order, its nine commission should also be investigated for misconduct, Mr Natthaphong said.

Last but not least, the opposition wants an investigation into the conduct of the recently elected NACC leader, Suchart Trakulkasemsuk, and possible his dismissal.

A picture of Mr. Suchart and Mr. Wan’s discussion earlier this month was leaked on social media.

They could be heard discussing the NACC president’s vote and whether or not a complaint against Mr. Suchart that was filed by previous deputy police chief Pol Gen Surachate Hakparn would have an impact on his candidacy for the position.

The conversation, according to reviewers, may be considered an ethical violation.

The opponent’s complaint is backed by 144 MPs — 143 of them from the Women’s Party and one from Fair Party — and a legislator. On Thursday, the House speech received the complaint along with 18 pieces of evidence.

Thailand deports 40 Uyghurs to China

A photo posted on social media by Fair Party MP Kannavee Suebsaeng shows detention vans with black tape covering their windows leaving the immigration detention centre on Soi Suan Phlu in Bangkok early Thursday morning.
Detention trucks with dark strip covering their windows exit the immigration detention center in Bangkok early on Thursday morning, according to Fair Party MP Kannavee Suebsaeng’s image posted on social media.

After receiving reassurance from China that they would be looked after, Thailand on Thursday deported 40 Uyghur prisoners who had been in the region for almost 11 years, according to Defense Minister Phumtham Wechayachai.

According to Mr. Phumtham, they were returned in accordance with international standards, which was the first official confirmation from the state following a moment of extreme debate.

Human rights activists have criticized the action in a furious manner.

The Thai government “has suddenly done the unthinkable”, said Phil Robertson, the Bangkok-based chairman of Asia Human Rights and Labour Advocates.

He urged Thailand to retire from its position on the UN Human Rights Council” to show accountability for its outrageous and unethical behavior.”

Human Rights Watch criticized Thai government for deporting the men despite making common assurances that they would not do so in the wake of earlier allegations that they had.

” Thailand’s exchange of Uyghur inmates to China constitutes a blatant violation of Thailand’s commitments under domestic and international rules”, said Elaine Pearson, Asia chairman of Human Rights Watch. ” The people now face a higher chance of torture, enforced departure, and long-term prison in China”.

A strange limousine and a later trip that was said to have landed in China set off the episode.

Around 2 a.m., Fair Party MP Kannavee Suebsaeng posted pictures of confinement trailers leaving the immigration detention center in Bangkok’s Soi Suan Phlu.

A policeman escort prevented people from following or tracking their target as they entered the road.

Late on Wednesday evening, China Southern Airlines ‘ trip CZ5245 from Kashgar in China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region made its way to Don Mueang Airport. At 4.48am Thursday the same planes, then journey CZ5246, took off with its target marked as “unspecified” on Flightradar24. Six hours later, it was revealed that it had landed at Kashgar.

The standard Xinhua news agency in China reported on Thursday evening that 40 Chinese nationals who had been “bewitched by legal organizations” had been repatriated from Thailand.

A Chinese Foreign Ministry director, asked about the reported relocation, said “certain political causes” had been” spreading lies” concerning Xinjiang in order to destroy order.

Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra stated in a statement to the parliament that she had not examined the specifics of the situation, noting that any nation that deals with this kind of situation must base its actions on laws, global standards, and human rights.

Ms. Paetongtarn made a five-day trip to China earlier this month. It is unknown if Thai and Chinese leaders have ever discussed the Uyghur concern.

” National protection”

In response to the studies, National Police Chief Kittharath Punpetch opted not to comment on national security.

” There can’t be an instant response in particular because it concerns safety. Information may be made available after a certain time, he said before entering a policeman commission meeting. The place was instructed to avoid the writers.

The Uyghurs were removed from the detention center on Soi Suan Phlu on Wednesday night, according to a resource at the immigration bureau, but the detention officers there were unaware of their destination.

Sending the Tamils again would have serious implications for Thailand, warned Women’s Party MP Rangsiman Rome, chairman of the House committee on national security, border affairs, regional approach and reform.

” I think it will have a major impact and be a key issue, not just for Thailand, because it affects international respect, particularly Thailand’s role in human right”, he wrote on X.

He added that Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, has previously expressed concern for the Uyghurs, and that their imprisonment had put a strain on the US-Thailand partnership.

People are prohibited from returning to nations where they may experience torture, forced departure, or persecution under international law.

Right groups accuse Beijing of common abuses of the Uyghurs, a largely Muslim ethnic minority that makes up around 10 million people in the northern region of Xinjiang. Beijing denies any crimes. ( Story continues below )

Uyghur prisoners have been staying at the immigration detention center in Bangkok for almost 11 decades.

Fleeing persecution

In January, it was reported that the Uyghur people had a belief that the Thai authorities was preparing to arrest them to China.

Thailand joined Uyghur refugees fleeing China’s growing persecution and seeking entry to Turkey, which has previously supported Uyghur asylum seekers, a common route ten years ago. Around 350 people who were detained by immigration authorities near the Malaysian borders in March 2014 comprise the majority of the party detained in Bangkok.

In July 2015, around 170 women and children from the party were released to Turkey. About a week later, 109— generally guys— were deported to China. Their movements today are mysterious. The remainder were held in Thailand’s immigration confinement. At least a few have escaped, and five have died in detention, including two babies.

Five of the asylum applicants are serving jail sentences related to a 2020 avoid test, while the remaining 43 are being held without demand in the Suan Phlu detention center, amid sweltering, foul-smelling, cramped problems. They are barred from communicating with their families, attorneys, or even other inmates.

The Uyghurs ‘ confinement is categorized as a matter of national security under Thai law. Because of this, they are now under the control of the National Security Council ( NSC), not immigration authorities. Additionally, it forbids them from using the country’s National Screening Mechanism, which allows migrants to reside in the nation and access government service.

Immigration officers have stated that they have been making every effort to accommodate the prisoners.

Last month, Pol Gen Kittharath defended the treatment of the Uyghurs, arguing that states would have been made in media reports decades ago if their treatment had been weak.

Thailand has face international criticism for its choice, said Rushan Abbas, senior chairman of the Campaign for Uyghurs.

” These arrests expose the unpleasant truth that, for some governments, animal life are negotiable and are traded apart for political or economic pursuits”, she said.

A leading Thai criticism lawmaker said a current campaign to target scam factories along Thailand’s border with Myanmar has resulted in only a small percentage of workers being fired, calling for more detailed measures to kick out a flourishing illegal industry.

According to the United Nations ( UN), Thailand, which is supported by China, is pushing to end the country’s Myawaddy region, which is a part of a network of highly lucrative and illegal operations throughout Southeast Asia. In recent years, hundreds of thousands of people have been trafficked by criminal gangs.

Women’s Party deputy president Rangsiman Rome, Thailand’s leading words in calls for action against borders boiler rooms that have defrauded Thais of hundreds of millions of US money, in an interview told&nbsp, Reuters that 300, 000 people were operating in Myawaddy fraud materials, less than 10, 000 of which had been rescued.

” It means like the kingdom of the fraud is still there… we’re really shaking them”, said Mr Rangsiman, the head of legislature’s committee on national security and border matters.

Mr Rangsiman, who has travelled through some of the border regions himself, said about 40 fraud substances existed it. He did no identify information.

” If we just quit, they can maintain their company”, he said.

Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra stated in legislature on Thursday that the government was addressing the issue of scam centers as an immediate issue. Fraud centers have been operating in Myawaddy and another border towns for years, but they have recently gained new attention as a result of Wang Xing‘s abduction in Thailand last month, which sparked a social media storm in his home country.

Afterwards, Wang Xing was found in the Myawaddy region, found, and returned to China.

Stop the corruption

As part of a coordinated response, Thailand cut off power, internet and fuel supplies to some borders areas, including Myawaddy, where armed groups have also worked to draw people out of fraud centres, including human smuggling victims. More than 7, 000 foreigners are waiting to cross from Myawaddy to Thailand, which is coordinating with several embassies to help them expedite their repatriations. The majority of them are from China.

However, according to Mr. Rangsiman, who represents the opposition People’s Party, Thai authorities are not doing enough to stop these con artists from swindling their profits or Thai officials from being complicit in their expansion. Col Saw Chit Thu, a Myanmar warlord who controls areas close to Myawaddy and is well known for being a part of the rise of scam centers on the Thai frontier, is one of them.

” We know that he has a big connection with the Thai side”, said Mr Rangsiman, pointing to suspected links between Saw Chit Thu, who leads the Karen National Army, and Thai officials.

Saw Chit Thu: Runs scam centre hub.

Chit Thu and his militia could not be reached for comment.

Following the appointment of a fact-finding committee to investigate allegations of human trafficking, Thai police have recently transferred several officials from Tak province, which borders Myawaddy.

Mr. Rangsiman claimed that Thai government and security officials were directly involved in the dramatic growth of the scam compounds.

” It’s time to stop the corruption in Thailand”, he said.
