Thailand: Another Protester Killed as Regime Thugs Do Drive-By at Rally Site

In the lead up to, and during major bloodshed in 2010, when Thaksin Shinawatra deployed some 300 heavily armed professional mercenaries (HRW’s “Descent into Chaos” PDF page 62) in Bangkok in a failed attempt to violently seize back power, there were several drive-by attacks on his political opponents (BBC, AFP, AFP, ). Open violence has been a hallmark of Thaksin’s dark reign over Thai politics since taking office in 2001, and is one of the main reasons protesters seek to oust him and his influence permanently from Thailand’s political landscape.

In 2003 he conducted a so-called “war on drugs” that saw nearly 3,000 innocent people extrajudicially murdered in the streets. Half of those killed, according to Human Rights Watch, turned out to have nothing at all to do with the drug trade. The following year Thaksin Shinawatra would oversee the brutal crackdown on protesters in the nation’s troubled southern provinces that had, prior to his administration, seen a 20 year lasting peace. Protesters would be hogtied and left to suffocate in the back of cargo trucks. 85 would die in a single day. Thaksin’s brutal approach to addressing unrest in the south was cited for the gradual increase of violence and loss of life (NYT).  

Also, throughout his first term in office, According to  Amnesty International, 18 human rights defenders were either assassinated or disappeared. 

The most troubling aspect of Thaksin Shinwatra and his supporters’ brutality and tendency toward violence is that is seen as wildly popular by his electorate who continuously return him to power despite his overt criminality, absolute illegitimacy, and dangerous abandonment of basic human rights. Violence is expected to continue to plague the current political conflict as the regime comes closer and closer to finally collapsing.

A court in Thailand has convicted two Iranian men for their roles in an attempted bomb plot in the capital, Bangkok.

Both men have maintained their innocence of the charges.

Officials believe the incident, which came a day after two bomb attacks targeted Israeli diplomats in India and Georgia, was aimed at Israeli diplomats in Bangkok.

Live Leak – by Coradon

CHON BURI – A man shot and killed his girlfriend and her mother on Thursday at a car modification shop in Muang district, just 20 days before they were due to be married on Aug 28.

The victim, identified as Kewelin Hongthong, 28, and her mother Wimol Hongthong, 48, were both shot three times by Tasaphol Haekla, 35, and died instantly at the scene, police said.  

Pol Maj Gen Katcha Thatsart, commander of Chon Buri police station led a team to inspect the murder scene at the PS Modify Chon Buri garage.

Kalayanat Namsuwan, a close friend of Ms Kewelin and witness to the crime, said her friend had called her and asked her to come to the garage because she feared for her safety after having an argument with Mr Tasaphol. Ms Kalayanat said that her friend knew Mr Tasaphol could be bad-tempered and carried a gun.

Ms Kalayanat joined Ms Wimol and the couple at the garage. The group had been talking for around 10 minutes when Mr Tasaphol took out a gun and fired three times at Kewelin. The mother tried to escape but was also shot three times.

Ms Kalayanat said Mr Tasaphol showed no remorse before fleeing the scene, saying that “anyone is invited to be witness” to the crime.

The police obtained security camera footage showing Mr Tasaphol gun down both women, then dance his way out of the scene. He then briefly went back and said something else before walking out again.

Pol Maj Gen Katcha said the killer had behaved outrageously. He said police want to catch Mr Tasaphol as soon as possible, and will respond appropriately if Mr Tasaphol attempts to resist arrest.
