Today, as Christmas marks a celebration of family and giving around the world, about 200 Rohingya refugees are stranded at sea, starving and dying. For the past three weeks, they have gone without food and water. About 20 of them, including women and young children, have died. More will get sick and die if they do not receive help in time.
Move Forward Party (MFP) MP and deputy secretary-general Rangsiman Rome thrust himself into the spotlight yet again when he raised the issue regarding the trafficking of Rohingya refugees during a general debate in parliament on Feb 18.
Five civic groups on Thursday petitioned the House committee on corruption and misconduct prevention and suppression to carry out an investigation on Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and eight other officials in connection with a human trafficking case.
Does it sound right for Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha to tell Pol Maj Gen Paween Pongsirin to come back and fight after he had been explicit that the threat against his life came from "the highest-ranking people" in the country?
