The army and extrajudicial killings
News, Published on 05/04/2017
» On March 17, Chaiyapoom Pasae, a young ethnic Lahu activist, was slain by a soldier at a checkpoint in Chiang Mai's Chiang Dao district. This followed the earlier, almost identical killing of an ethnic Lisu, Abea Sea-moo, on Feb 15 in the same district. By definition an extrajudicial killing, and subject to ongoing police and military investigations to see if the soldier was acting in self-defence, the likelihood of Chaiyapoom's death was exacerbated by three factors: Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha's granting of police powers to the military, extremely high levels of racial intolerance, and the continuing use of the death penalty.
