Was Army Responsible for Fatal Shooting of Japanese Cameraman?

In a surprising U-turn, Department of Special Investigation chief Tharit Pengdit told Agence France Presse on 17 September that the army was responsible for the fatal shooting of Japanese cameraman Hiroyuki Muramoto during clashes between government forces and “Red Shirt” protesters in Bangkok on 10 April 2010. The DSI previously reported on 24 March that forensic tests had established that the round that killed Muramoto, who worked for Reuters, came from a type of gun that the army had not been using that day. Accusing the DSI of being ineffective, Chalerm has put the Bangkok police in charge of the investigation.The shift in position came one day after Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yubamrung relieved the DSI of responsibility for the special enquiry into the deaths of 13 civilians, including Muramoto, during the clashes in April and May 2010. Italian freelance photographer Fabio Polenghi was also killed while covering the “Red Shirt” protests on 19 May 2010.

Thailandia. La polizia indagherà sulla morte del Cameramen Muramoto ed altri 12 civili. Fabio Polenghi non è nella lista, il silenzio sul caso italiano continua.

Secondo notizie di un’agenzia Thialandese, il Dipartimento delle Indagini Speciali (DSI) ha riinviato alla polizia  i casi di 12 civili  e del cameramen giapponese Muramoto della Reuter uccisi durante la repressione dei mesi di aprile e maggio del 2010 a Bangkok perché siano fatte nuove indagini opportune, dal momento che si evince che le truppe erano coinvolte in queste morti. Questo è un cambio notevole di rotta da parte del DSI che finora aveva negato qualunque coinvolgimento delle truppe nelle morti dei civili, almeno 90 nel periodo aprile maggio 2010, addossando la responsabilità di queste morti a uomini vestiti in nero.

Measures to restore justice

for people affected by the April – May 2010 crackdown

Members of Peuthai party cannot deny the fact that one of the key factors which lead to it winning the recent election came from people’s anger towards political injustice since the 2006 coup. This anger had been fuelled by the bloody crackdown administered by the Abhisit government in April – May 2010.  That incident alone resulted in 93 deaths, approximately 1,800 people injured, and more than 700 arrested – not to mention that there are also red shirts who were detained because of their involvement in political demonstrations which took place in the years prior to the crackdown. However, none of those who ordered the use of violence against the people have been prosecuted. Therefore, the task of restoring justice lies now with Peuthai. The party must realize that their red shirt supporters are also keeping a close watch on them.

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) abruptly cancelled a press conference on Friday morning about its investigation of human rights violations during the April-May 2010 demonstrations because of internal dissension over the report's conclusions.

The split coincided with the announcement that the sister of Italian news cameraman Fabio Polenghi, killed on Ratchadamri road on May 19 last year, has written to prime minister-apparent Yingluck Shinawatra welcoming her election and asking that the new Pheu Thai government reopen the investigation into her brother's death.

Elisabetta Polenghi, a sister of Italian news photographer who was killed on Ratchadamri road on May 19 last year, sent an open letter yesterday to prime minister-apparent Yingluck Shinawatra, expressing the hope that a thorough review of her brother's case would be seen soon.

"The recent news of the red-shirt’s victory brought me to uncontrollable tears; a feeling that is hard to explain and which was both joyous and sorrowful, but at the same time infused with timid hope…that a new era of justice and respect will arise and that all those victims who believed in a better country and contributed to the change with the ultimate sacrifice will now receive the respect and truth that they truly deserve," said Ms Polenghi.
