Lack of legal standards of justice in Thailand continues.
The murder case of defence lawyer Somchai Nilapaichit
has been thrown out of court “for lack of evidence.”
The double standards and total lack of justice in the Thai legal system has been obvious for years, especially when comparing the harsh and unjust measures applied to the cases of pro-democracy Red Shirts in contrast to the leniency in the cases of fascist Yellow Shirts. This deplorable situation has been further exposed in the case of the murdered defence lawyer Somchai Nilapaichit.
In southern Thailand the occupying army and the police are feared and hated. Local people know that their sons, brothers and fathers have been taken away at night, then tortured and killed by the Thai army and police, often in plain clothes. In 2004, the defence lawyer Somchai Nilapaichit, who was a key human rights activist on this issue of state torture in the south, was kidnapped in Bangkok and killed by police from different units. He was trying to expose police tactics in torturing suspects into confessions about stealing guns from an army camp in early 2004. The involvement of police from different units in his murder indicates a green light from above: from top policemen, from Prime Minister Thaksin and others in his TRT Government. To date, no one has been found guilty of Somchai’s murder and his body has not been found. There is a continuum in government policies of brutality, torture and lack of legal standards and justice. The post 2006 coup junta and the military installed Democrat Party Government have been no different from Thaksin’s TRT.
Somchai’s murder case was deliberately bungled by the authorities in order to cover up the truth. Because his body was never found, the courts argued that a murder case was “unjustified”. When police were eventually charged with kidnapping, in a civil case brought by Somchai’s widow and daughter, key witnesses were threatened until they withdrew evidence and the main suspect conveniently skipped bail and disappeared. Now even the kidnapping charge has been thrown out of court. The bail bond holder for the escaped policeman has also claimed that he does not have to forfeit the bail money because the policeman was “a missing person”.
