Thailand - A Wet Tropical Paradise Lost?
The editorial team here at Wacky Wet World are deeply concerned about recent human rights violations in Thailand. Report by Felix. The Washington Post reports that hundreds of bullet-riddled corpses have been found across Thailand, and news photos show the victims often surrounded by horrified neighbors and grinning police. The government threatened yesterday to fire officials if they fail to step up the anti-drug crusade that has claimed more than 300 lives this month alone. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) works closely with Thailand's government, police and military. "Our DEA agents work side by side with their Thai counterparts, and U.S. special forces train with Thai soldiers in Thailand in counterinsurgency and border-security techniques," James A. Kelly, assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs, told the Asia Foundation in March. The United States trained Thailand's Task Force 399 -- a joint army and border-police unit -- to thwart smuggling along the northwest border with Burma. It is supported by an interagency intelligence fusion center established at Chiang Mai [city] with U.S. government assistance and support. |
UN InvestigationThai human rights activists want the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights to investigate the rising slaughter. It is difficult to believe police claims that most of the dead were drug dealers suddenly killed by other dealers because Thailand has never seen such highly organised gangland executions."It's rather obvious that police in many areas, under pressure from their superiors to 'perform,' have resorted to extrajudicial killings to show results," said Thepchai Yong, editor of the Nation newspaper group. Opposition politicians also lashed out at the killings. "Only a court can order the execution of people," said former Prime Minister Chuan Leekpai. "Shooting someone merely because they are suspected of selling drugs or associating with traffickers will create problems. We could be accused of human rights violations and the international community could boycott us," Mr. Chuan said. But Primeminister Thaksin, a strong U.S. ally, shrugged off any possibility of U.N. condemnation. "To boycott us, they need to vote," he said, suggesting that he perhaps is relying on divisions within the United Nations on other issues. Serious damage has been done to Thailand's image by Mr. Thaksin, 53, a former police officer who received a doctorate degree in criminal justice at Sam Houston State University in Texas. Wacky Wet World readers can vote with their feet and boycott Thailand's tourism until this situation is resolved, probably in a few months. Don't get caught in the crossfire.
