Thailand: Dissenting Ex-Minister Secretly Detained
End Secret Military Detention of Junta's Critics, Dissidents
(New York, September 11, 2015) – Thailand's junta should immediately disclose the whereabouts of a former government minister whom the military detained on September 9, 2015, Human Rights Watch said today. Pichai Naripthaphan, who was energy minister from 2011 to 2012, is being held in incommunicado detention.
On September 10, Prime Minister Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha told the media that Pichai was detained because of his "expression of opinions that challenge the authorities…. Whether there will be harsh or soft measures [against Pichai], it is my decision.... No one can oppose me. If they won't learn, they will be detained again and again… I might tape their mouths shut, too." Col. Winthai Suwaree, spokesperson for the ruling National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), said that Pichai was in military custody, but refused to provide any information regarding his whereabouts or status. The junta also refused access to Pichai's family members and legal counsel.
"The Thai junta continues to use arbitrary arrest and secret detention to intimidate and silence people who peacefully criticize military rule," said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch. "As the junta tightens its dictatorial powers, Thailand's climate of fear is intensifying."
On September 9 at 8:05 a.m., Pichai posted a comment on his Facebook page: "Being summoned for 'attitude adjustment' again. Soldiers will come to pick me up this morning at 9:30 a.m." Then, at 9:42 a.m., he posted his photo standing next to two soldiers from the army's 12th Signal Division (King's Guard) before they took him away from his house in Bangkok. He has not been seen in public since.
Human Rights Watch has repeatedly condemned the use of arbitrary arrest and secret military detention by Thailand's junta. Since the May 22, 2014 coup, the NCPO has detained hundreds of politicians, activists, journalists, and people accused of supporting the deposed government, disrespecting or offending the monarchy, or being involved in alleged anti-coup activities.
The NCPO has held many of those people incommunicado in military camps in violation of Thailand's international human rights obligations. The junta has consistently failed to provide information about people in secret detention, claiming such practices are desirable to ensure safety of the detainees and to allow them to undergo forced "attitude adjustment" without disruption from outsiders.
The risk of enforced disappearance, torture, and other ill-treatment significantly increases when detainees are held incommunicado in unofficial military detention. Enforced disappearances are defined under international law as the arrest or detention of a person by state officials or their agents followed by a refusal to acknowledge the deprivation of liberty, or to reveal the person's fate or whereabouts. Enforced disappearances violate a range of fundamental human rights protected under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which Thailand is a party.
The junta typically compels persons released from military detention to sign an agreement that infringes on their fundamental liberties, including agreeing not to make political comments, become involved in political activities, or travel overseas without the junta's permission. Failure to comply with the agreement can result in a new detention, a sentence of two years in prison, or a fine of 40,000 baht (US$1,250). Those who fail to report to an NCPO summons also face arrest and prosecution in military court, which gives them no right to appeal the verdict.
"The junta's pledges to respect human rights have proven meaningless," Adams said. "General Prayuth should immediately order an end to arbitrary arrest and secret detention, and release all those being wrongfully held."

Thai Conference: End
Monarchy's Influence
By Leonard Novarro and Rosalynn CarmenThey say that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
No more.
A conference held there over Labor Day weekend to restore democracy in Thailand, is expected to have reverberations 8,200 miles away. Not only did it call for an end to the abuse of political and human rights in that country. Many called for an end to the monarchy, a move that would guarantee imprisonment in Thailand, or worse.
Books criticizing the monarchy are banned in that country; anyone possessing one faces a minimum of three years in prison. Western journalists have also been kicked out for writing anything negative about the king or his family.
More recently, the general who led the last military coup in 2014 told a roomful of journalists that he will "probably just execute" any journalist who doesn't "report the truth," and before that, in June, the military government announced a special meeting for 200 local and foreign journalists to teach them how to ask "constructive questions."
According to several human rights watchdog groups, anywhere between 4,000 and 10,000 people, citizens and foreigners, have been jailed for speaking out against the current military regime, which has the support of the Thai royal family.
But that didn't stop more than 100 people of Thai descent – some like former Minister of Transport Charupong Ruangsuwan, recently exiled for speaking out against the current regime, and many attending from as far away as Denmark -- from criticizing the iron rule of the current government. A military coup ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra in 2006 and his sister, Yingluck, eight years later. Both were elected to office by sizeable majorities.
Themed "Bring Democracy Back to Thailand," the conference was hosted by the Organization of Free Thais for Human Rights and Democracy, which claims followers in 29 countries, 68 provinces in Thailand and nine U.S. states.
