    Oped, Editorial, Published on 29/02/2024

    » After a long delay, justice is starting to take its course in the notorious hit-and-run case involving Vorayuth "Boss" Yoovidhya, the Red Bull scion who allegedly killed a policeman in the Thong Lor area of Sukhumvit in September 2012 before fleeing the country.

    Don't drag on Araibi case

    News, Editorial, Published on 15/01/2019

    » The government should reconsider the continued detention of the refugee Hakeem al-Araibi, known as the refugee football player. He is being held without bail at Bangkok Remand Prison as a flight risk, while authorities from Bahrain attempt to extradite him. There is little compelling evidence to send him to a dangerous and possibly violent fate in that country. On the other hand, there are strong reasons to free him to return to Australia, where he has lived for four years in asylum while working towards citizenship.

    Abetting dictators

    News, Editorial, Published on 12/12/2018

    » The sudden government interest in apprehending political opponents of foreign governments is disappointing. It may be coincidence but in just a week, police have forcibly detained critics of the governments of Cambodia and Bahrain. The arrests and threats of deportation or extradition to these undemocratic countries go against normal human rights practices. They also violate decades of Thai policy that often welcomed and never threatened lives of foreigners pitted against their governments.

    Asean agrees on extradition

    News, Editorial, Published on 01/05/2018

    » A seemingly forgotten legal necessity for Asean was announced at last weekend's annual summit in Singapore. The chairman for 2018, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, said that the long-delayed Asean extradition treaty was nearing completion. The announcement, made almost in passing at the busy heads-of-government meetings came as a welcome surprise. But it is crucial that the 10-nation group get the treaty right, and not fold to countries who want it to enforce political crimes.

    Pursuit of justice

    News, Editorial, Published on 18/07/2017

    » Prosecutors and the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) deserve a light round of applause for their pursuit to the United States of the ex-monk previously known as Nen Kham. It must be stressed that as of today, extradition from California is not completely certain. Wirapol Sukphol -- his real name -- still has legal avenues to avoid Thai justice. But pursuing wanted fugitives across international borders is tough work and the Thai team has given hope that Mr Wirapol will be returned home to answer accusations of serious crimes.

    'Big Brother' backfires

    News, Editorial, Published on 16/05/2017

    » At 10am this morning, the government's ultimatum to Facebook expires. The US firm has been ordered to remove 131 posts by then. This is the last order in a recent flurry of censorship that ministries say have removed or blocked 6,900 web pages and individual posts across the internet.
