And Thaksin also committed and directed mass murder in that Y2003 anti-ya ba campaign which resulted in the extrajudicial slaughter of 2,500 DEFENSELESS villagers merely because these victims were on some poorly trained poorly paid corrupt village policemen’s blacklist. Murder is a crime, mass murder even more so, and to have been carried out in violation of the rule of law by the very Prime Minister elected to uphold the law is criminally unforgiveable. For this fifth most heinous crime of Thaksin, he should be JAILED and punished to the full extent of the law, 2500 times!

“The Democrat Party Sunday called on the Council for National Security to re-explain its reasons behind the coup against the Thaksin government.
Democrat spokesman Ong-art Klampaibool said so far none of the reasons cited by the coup makers to oust prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra had been fulfilled so the CNS should explain to the public why there were no progress in the issues.”

Its starting to sound like a familiar story.

Although I must admit I’m starting to enjoy all the tales of ‘black magic’ ‘voodoo’ and al the other stories flowing from the deep dark recesses of peoples minds. Keep the rumours coming. No evidence is required.

What was the point of the slaughter? Thaksin’s whim? Expediency? Surely Thaksin Shinawatra could have passed the toughest anti-drug legislation on the world in the Thai parliament he then effectively controlled if he really wanted to make a lasting impression against drug abuse. But Thaksin Shinawatra wanted to earn adulation accorded to movie stars when he willfully slaughtered 2,500 defenseless villagers suspected of ya ba trafficking. Mass murder to be popular makes me puke!

Anon you love the extrajudicial killings, do you? I personally would like to see extrajudicial measures tried on the very people who espouses it use (or abuse).

Also, some of the worst human rights abuses (Tak Bai and Krue Sae) of the Thaksin government were committed by the military itself. Soliders ordered and then executed on those orders. The junta will not undertake any human rights probes because it has even more human rights abuses in its closet than Thaksin.

But Jeru has a good point on the Extrajudicial Killings ordered by Thaksin Shinawatra. That was a mass murder crime . . and Thaksin Shinawatra was prominently the man in charge. We do remember Thaksin Shinawatra as the micro-manager requiring blacklists from the police-hicks, then follow-ups on the body counts. Thaksin Shinawatra was enjoying his murderous extrajudicial show which was impressing the villages . . TRT’s entertainment to the poor I would say.

For the extrajudicial killings alone, Thaksin should be jailed for life.
