"Lahu"

Two ethnic Lahu hunters were injured in a clash with Sri Lanna National Park officials in Chiang Mai on Saturday. 

Myanmar authorities conducted raids at entertainment venues, hotels, resorts and residential communities in the Lahu tribe-influenced area of Nayao, near the Thai-Myannar border opposite Chiang Rai’s Mae Fah Luang district on Sunday evening- and rounded up 81 Thai nationals who had illegally entered the country.

Some 170 police, troops, park officials and volunteers on Saturday morning resumed searching a forest in Lampang’s Muang Pan district for an elderly woman who has been gone two nights.

An inquest in Thailand into the death of a teenage ethnic Lahu activist ended without an answer to a critical question: What happened to the missing security camera footage the Army claims justified the shooting?

The family of a teenage ethnic Lahu activist killed at a Chiang Mai military checkpoint last year wants to know what happened to CCTV camera recordings from the scene, the existence of which the Army has officially denied.

RELATIVES of victims of extra-judicial killings have demanded justice, not money, as compensation for their losses.

THE LAWYER for the family of young Lahu activist Chaiyaphum Pasae, who was shot dead by soldiers at a military checkpoint in March last year, has petitioned the Army to hand over video footage from the scene.

ONE YEAR after the death of teenage Lahu activist Chaiyapoom Pasae at a military checkpoint, the Chiang Mai Provincial Court yesterday concluded that he had died at the hands of a soldier but did not rule on whether the extrajudicial killing was illegal.

Friends and colleagues of Lahu activist Chaiyaphum Pasae gathered at a remembrance ceremony on the first anniversary of his death on Saturday morning.

Several non-governmental organisations staged events in remembrance of a young Lahu activist, Chaiyapoom Pasae, in Chiang Mai province on Wednesday. 

The 60th day since ethnic Lahu activist Chaiyapoom “Billy” Pasae was gunned down at a northern military checkpoint was observed in Chiang Mai on Wednesday, with questions about his death still unresolved.

A human rights lawyer yesterday expressed doubts over a report that a soldier fired just one shot during an incident in which a young Lahu activist was killed in March.
