Play
A network of police-brutality victims Tuesday requested help from the Democrat Party in filing complaints with the International Criminal Court over the death of a teenage boy at the hands of Kalasin-based police officers during the first Thaksin Shinawat
A Thai court recently convicted the officers of killing 17-year-old Kiattisak Thitbunkhrong in 2004.
The groups are led by an aunt of Kiattisak. She said she and several other members would be joint complainants in a number of lawsuits against Thaksin filed by the Democrat Party.
Democrat secretary-general Chalermchai Srion said a briefing would be held next week to report on the progress of the party’s own efforts to lodge the complaints and extract compensation from the Yingluck government.
