UN slams Thai ‘culture of torture’

GENEVA – Thailand hat die Gesetzgebung zur Kriminalisierung von Folter und Verschwinden nach Jahren der Arbeit an der Gesetzesvorlage fallengelassen, sagte die Menschenrechtsbüro der Vereinten Nationen am Dienstag, so dass Staatsangestellte für schwere Verbrechen nicht belangt werden können.
Folter ist keine Straftat in Thailand so das Täter strafretchtlich nicht verfolgt werden können, sagte die Menschenrechtssprecherin Ravina Shamdasani in einem UN-Briefing in Genf. Read more

It is the 15th day of officials’ mission.

(1) The chronology of death
11.29AM, the patient sent a message through Line to ask for help from a friend, who was at Boonraksa building.
11.35-11.50AM, her friend was outside asking for help at a military checkpoint to have a paramedic unit sent out to her residence in the 58-Rai area, but the officials said they had to ask for a permission from DSI first since it was not in their power to make a decision.
11.56AM, the friend attempted many times to contact 1669, but the signal was poor, so the connection was on and off. During this time, DSI arrived and asked for some information for another 10 minutes and told them to go to Gate 7.
12.03PM, while sitting in the vehicle, the patient’s friend sent out messages in a group Line of 1669 paramedics in order to ask for emergency care. She had to go around from the back of the temple to Gate 7, which was 4 kilometers long and had to wait for another 15 minutes.
12.15PM, she rode in the1669 vehicle along Khlong L route and had to get through 5 checkpoints. The route was also obstructed by a police car.

The fact is somebody died.
The fact is there are checkpoints.
The fact is the communication was poor due to unstable signal.
The fact is there is article 44. Read more

戦争よりも残虐

タンマガーイ寺院の問題:「戦争よりも残虐」
国際連合は敵国の物資補給ラインを断つ、いわゆる兵糧攻めに関し、人道に著しく反する残虐な作戦であるとしてこれを禁じています。
例えばシリアのアレッポの戦い(2012〜2016)では民間人までも巻き込んだ補給ライン断絶作戦が取られましたが、国際連合はこの作戦を解除しない限り、戦争の続行を許さないという警告を出しました。

DSI(タイ特別捜査局)は、戦争ですら許されないはずの物資補給ラインの断絶作戦をタンマガーイ寺院に対して行っており、寺院の僧侶、沙弥、在家信者たちは悲惨な状態に陥っています。

暫定憲法第44条*は、まともな法ではありません。発令者の独断で、制限なく適用できてしまうのです。
病気で出廷できない老僧を逮捕したいが為だけに、施設の出入り口を封鎖し、食料供給ラインを断ち、電話・インターネットによる通信手段をも遮断するという事を許すのはまともな法ではありません。

仏教の弾圧を止め、暫定憲法第44条を破棄して下さい。

(暫定憲法第44条*:第44条の内容は「国の安全保障を脅かす恐れがある場合、行政・立法・司法上のいかなる命令をも出せる」というもので、幅広い解釈・適用が可能な上、政権等の同意を必要とせず事後報告で済む) Read more

Worse Than a War

Case of Dhammakaya: Worse Than a War

Even during a war time, the United Nation (UN) disallows blockage of food transportation because it viciously violates human rights.

For example, during civil war in Aleppo, Syria there was blockage and cutting off food transportation to let enemy and people suffer from starvation and then surrender. UN commanded to stop cutting off food transportation if wanting war to continue.

Considered worse than a war, the action of blocking food transportation by Department of Special Investigation (DSI) adversely impacting Dhammakaya monks, novices, and lay people in the temple.

This is not just a law. It is the dictatorial law which was arbitrarily passed without any restraint. In this world, there is no righteously passed law that allows state to blockade its own people, cut food transportation, cut phone and internet communications in order just to arrest elderly ailing monk subject to the charge of disobeying court summons.

法身寺的案例:比战争的情况还恶劣
无论哪里的战争,联合国会都会禁止阻拦运送食物的举动,因为此行为实属非常不人道。
例如,叙利亚的战役,阿勒坡的最后重要据点已遭“全面包围”了。叙利亚当局切断了水供和食物的供应,企图借此削弱反对派的战斗力。当时的联合国人权事务部禁止此行为,理由是彼此可以继续打战,但不能阻拦运送食物,也不能让另一方以饿死的方式战死。
因此,有关当局的DSI 警察、军人,如此对待法身寺,禁止运送粮食进入寺院,让寺内的出家人和平民须挨饿的行为,比战争的情况还恶劣!
DSI和军政府执行法令的方式,并没遵循国际人道主义的准则与标准,反而是我行我数,也不是属于任何民族性的法令,而是以独裁的方式,所定立出来的法律。世界上没有哪个国家,会以正规立法方式,允许执政的政府包围人民的住宿,禁止运送食物和药物,切断电讯和网络讯号。
另外,这次泰国军政府所颁布的第44号法令,依据只是被告违抗传票,因为那位患病的比丘长老,无法出席接受聆讯。

别再危害佛教了,解除第44 条法令罢!
