On Wednesday, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the country’s prime minister, declined to comment on requests for an executive order to extend the statute of limitations on the situation involving the Tak Bai slaughter from 2004 to Friday.
When asked what she thought of the growing calls for the executive order, the prime minister responded,” Pardon me, I have to go.”
The idea was initially made at a public platform by Assoc Prof Prinya Thaewanarumitkul, a law professor at Thammasat University.
Assoc Prof. Prinya suggested that the government should consider issuing the professional order under Section 29 of the law, which would also apply to the Tak Bai event in the future. If the state decides to proceed with the plan, how much an extension will be granted.
On October 25, 2004, a police station in the Tak Bai city of Narathiwat, where more than 80 people are alleged to have died, and their bodies were transported to a military service in the neighboring province of Pattani.
Before the distribution, the demonstrators had been calling for the transfer of six prisoners. The Sudah Bai horror occurred while Thaksin Shinawatra, the country’s prime minister, was in office.
No conclusions have been reached regarding the proposed administrative order, according to Justice Minister Tawee Sodsong, adding that the deputy prime minister in charge of security interests may get better positioned to respond to inquiries.
Usually, when a law concerns even certain groups and not the general consumer, a study is required to ensure the proposed law is constitutional, said Pol Col Tawee. If an executive order is issued to extend the statute of limitations in the Tak Bai circumstance, which involves eight to fourteen offenders, then the question that arises is whether the improvement may also qualify to around 4, 000 additional safety situations, he added.
More than 7, 000 arrest permits have been issued for defendants in safety cases, with only around 4, 000 offenders having been arrested, he said.
Pol Col Tawee acknowledged the role the government has in assisting security forces in detaining suspects, but he also acknowledged that finding these people was challenging because the majority of them prefer to escape and be buried until the statute of limitations in their cases expires.
He claimed that his Prachachat Party had second raised government problems last year about the impending statute of limitations expiration of the Tak Bai event, citing the lack of progress made over the years. A House committee should look into why the legal process in the Tak Bai situation had been stymied for so long, said Pol Col Tawee on December 12 next month. When asked if he was concerned that the Tak Bai incident, which took place during the Thai Rak Thai Party leadership, the Pheu Thai-led partnership, might result in the statute of limitations expiring without any defendants facing legal action, he responded just by saying that” when the reality emerges, evil may dissipate.”
The National Human Rights Commission, in addition, urged the immediate achievement of all defendants in the Tak Bai event on Wednesday and supported a constitutional amendment that would replace the statute of limitations for cases involving serious human rights violations committed by state officials.
Cycling in the South organized a symbolic event called” Pedalling for Oxygen” on Wednesday along the same route that protesters were taken from Narathiwat and suffocated in military trucks in 2004. Before setting off on a 145-kilometer route to the Ingkhayutthaborihan military camp in Nong Chik district, Pattani, the cyclists, some of whom were from Malaysia, prayed for the spirits of the dead in front of the Tak Bai police station.
In honor of the demonstrators who suffocated in Pattani, cyclist Muhammadaladi Dengni claimed they were “in search of oxygen.”
