“Drug dealers betray the nation because they know that the drugs will destroy people’s brains and bodies,” states Police Chief Pichai Sunthornsajjabul. He hit the headlines a few years ago when he was quoted endorsing police killings of drug traffickers. When Thailand launched a war on drugs, the police drew up blacklists of 40,000 suspected dealers. These suspects were then targeted in police raids. Thousands were killed. Police blame the killings on rival drug dealers, but the public do not believe them. And neither does Thailand’s Human Rights Commissioner, Professor Pradit Chareonthaitaee: “What they are doing is quite barbarous and inhuman.” The Prime Minister knows there’s no sympathy among Thais for drug dealers, but critics complain that the policy goes too far and that innocent bystanders have been killed.
