Red shirt activist accuses Thai military of ‘torture’ during detainment

On Saturday, exiled Thai journalist Jom Petchpradab posted a half-hour long interview with Kritsuda on YouTube, who has meanwhile fled with her boyfriend (who was also arrested) to an undisclosed location somewhere in Europe. In the video, she gave an entirely different account of her detention by the junta:
In the interview via Skype, Kritsuda said
she was blindfolded and her hands were bound on the first seven days
of the detention. During this period, a female officer would help her when eating, taking a bath, and when she wanted to go to the toilet.
She said while she was naked during taking bath, she heard a male voice. “I consider this sexual harassment.”
(…)
She said she was beaten several times during the interrogation. She was also suffocated when a plastic bag and a piece of fabric was placed over her head
until she lost consciousness.
The embattled red-shirt activist said the focus of the interrogation was to link former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra with her boss “May E.U.,” and the militant wing of the red shirt camp.
Mananchaya Ketkaew, aka “May E.U.”, is a low-profile red-shirt figure who represents the pro-Thaksin “Red E.U.” of red shirts in Europe. (…) There has been a rumor that the group is financially supported by the former Prime Minister. Kritsuda said Thaksin had never supported the group and that the donations were from May and red shirts in Europe.
She added that on 15 June she was
forced to sign a paper
stating that she had asked the military to allow her to continue staying in the camp for longer than the period allowed under martial law for pre-charge detention, and she had to also state that she felt safer inside the camp.
“I had to write that statement because I wanted to survive.”
