News, Editorial, Published on 25/04/2018

» Two horror stories from the justice system point once again the urgent need for intervention and reform. Two men are dead in separate incidents.

In Buri Ram, meanwhile, a man arrested for poaching -- and denied bail -- died from what medical examiners said were spleen injuries and "massive" blood loss.
