PERPETRATORS OF ABUSES DURING 2010 VIOLENCE IN THAILAND MUST BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE – UNNew York, Aug 6 2013 1:00PMThe United Nations human
rights office today voiced concern at an amnesty bill being discussed
this week in Thailand's Parliament that, if adopted, could pardon
people involved in serious rights violations during the political
violence that occurred in April and May 2010.

More than 90 people died and thousands were injured in the South-east
Asian nation during that period, according to the Office of the UN
High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Thailand (TRCT) set up in
the wake of the violence issued a report containing serious and
substantive findings backed by forensic evidence and which recommended
urgent action to ensure accountability for human rights abuses.

"We reiterate the previous call by the High Commissioner for the
Government to act on the TRCT's recommendations and ensure that state
officials and others are held to account for their role in serious
human rights abuses," OHCHR spokesperson Cécile Pouilly
<"http://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=13608&LangID=E">told
reporters in Geneva. "This would set an important precedent for
Thailand."

OHCHR also called on the Government to ensure that any amnesty
excludes those who are responsible for human rights violations and to
take steps to prosecute perpetrators of such violations.Aug 6 2013
