Hej
I dagens Bangkok Post kan man läsa om att HRW ser NCPO (juntan) order om att gripa s.k inflytelserika kriminella personer som finns med på en svart lista som maktmissbruk.
Enligt HRW har Thailand nu blivit en militärstat eftersom många uppgifter har överförts till militären.
Soldater kan numera arrestera och fängsla civila, genomsöka folks hem utan husrannsaknings order, beslagta tillgångar, hindra ekonomiska transaktioner, neka folk tillstånd att resa m,m, ev, fel som begås, övergrepp, tortyr och andra brott som kan bli aktuella omfattas av en total straffrihet i.o.m att NCPO (juntan) gav militären oinskränkt makt, detta är naturligtvis HRW väldigt kritiska mot.
New NCPO order 'abuse of power'
Military's new policing role comes under fire

Human rights advocates have slammed the regime's decision to give soldiers powers, on par with police, to deal with crime, which they say could lead to unrestrained actions and abuse of power.
The regime claimed a shortage of police officers as a key factor behind its decision.
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha's order shows an ongoing trend by the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) to enforce unchecked powers with total impunity, said Human Rights Watch researcher Sunai Phasuk.
There are no check or oversight mechanisms regulating actions carried out under the government's plan to crack down on "mafia" and "influential criminal figures". That is very alarming, Mr Sunai Phasuk argued,
especially since the NCPO does not tolerate any form of scrutiny or criticism. Earlier report: Soldiers get police powers of arrest, seizure
Human rights violations could ensue, he said, while the order reflects the junta's disregard for procedures. "It reaffirms that
Thailand has become a military state" as many tasks are being transferred into the hands of soldiers, he said.
