Authorities have cited force force as the justification for their failure to file legal actions against an infantry officer and seven others involved in the protesters ‘ onslaught that resulted in dozens of fatalities in Tak Bai 20 years ago.
After the army moved in to tear up the opposition in the southern state of Narathiwat, police “had no goal or had not foresee the deaths of the activists during the transportation process,” according to the letter dated April 25, 2024.
On Friday, Move Forward Party MP Romadon Panjor posted a copy of the letter the Royal Thai Police sent to the attorney colonel on his Instagram page.
Because the Tak Bai protesters ‘ deaths were “force majeure,” a name for an unanticipated occurrence, the Region 9 Municipal Police chief decided not to prosecute Gen. Chalermchai Wirunpeth and seven others.
The letter was signed by Pol Lt Gen Ittipol Atchariyapradit, an aide to the federal police commander, and bore a seal reading “very essential”.
The Nong Chik police stop in Pattani province’s Nong Chik area and an inspection report from the Songkhla Provincial Court were the basis for the police choice.
On October 25, 2004, 78 protesters died while being transported in an army fleet from Tak Bai to the Ingkhayutthaborihan Military Camp in Nong Chik as part of the investigation by Nong Chik officers. The page in Tak Bai, which was beyond Nong Chik police’s purview, left seven people dead.
Gen Chalermchai, whose name appears in the notice, was the Fifth Infantry Division captain at the time. The system was in direct charge of the Tak Bai police station’s distribution of a demo calling for the release of six incarcerated defense volunteers. The names of the seven people were never disclosed.
The letter was sent the day after wounded protesters and deceased victim’s family members filed a lawsuit against nine best security officials and demanded that the court take legal action against them.
Gen. Chalermchai is not known if he or she is one of the best officials named in the issue, which comes just a few weeks before the case’s 20-year statute of limitations expires.
After being persuaded by specialists to lose a case to the court, some victim’s family members complained to the House Committee on Legal Affairs, Justice, and Human Rights, according to Mr. Romadon in the social media post.
His speech was in line with the Cross Cultural Foundation’s, which claimed on Thursday that a group of people allegedly harassed families on March 7 and allegedly threatening them by threatening to sue them.
When Thaksin Shinawatra was in charge, there was the Tak Bai horror. It has been viewed as a significant factor in the three southern border provinces with a Muslim lot in terms of the uptick in violence.
