A Statement by the Asian Human Rights Commission

On March 17, five years to the week of the disappearance of human rights lawyer Somchai Neelaphaijit at the hands of police officers, the ambassador of Thailand to the United Nations Human Rights Council insisted that his government is doing all that it can to conclude the case. Responding to the Asian Legal Resource Centre, Sihasak Phuangketkeow said that the government "attaches the highest priority" to solving the disappearance.

On behalf of the Working Group on Justice for Peace (WGJP) and the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ), we would like to invite you to attend an “Art Exhibition on The Disappeared and Their Families” to mark the 6th anniversary disappearance of prominent Thai human rights lawyer Somchai Neelapaijit.
