10 ก.ค. 2015 — Today marks day 3 of the trial. While the trial has only just begun, there have already been huge developments that point to what many of us already believe. That Win and Zaw had nothing to do with these horrific crimes and are being used as scapegoats to protect corrupt authorities and connected families in Koh Tao. The most troubling, and also probably most easily predicted, is that the Thai police claim that they have no more DNA for the defense team to test and authenticate. Since this is pretty much the ONLY evidence that they claim to have, and now admit they don’t even have, the case should be thrown out immediately and the hunt for the real killers should take place.
Also very interesting is the statement made by human rights defender Andy Hall that the defense team has received evidence from the UK investigators sent to Thailand and that this evidence contradicts what was brought forward by the prosecution. While after reading the MET report we were initially upset and believed that nothing had been done, it may seem now that there was actually some good that may have come from the investigators visit to Koh Tao. At this stage we are not sure what evidence was handed over to the defense team, but the announcement that some evidence was handed over at all leaves many of us optimistic.
With the original Thai translator quitting after being threatened by the island mafia, it has been reported that Jack Hansen-Bartel has bravely stepped up and is taking on the job of translator for the trial. He has firsthand experience of the corruption plaguing the Thai justice system and is himself a victim of it. If you would like to thank Jack for his help and read more about his own ordeal Please click like on his Facebook page linked below.
Also, below is a link to an excellent article written by Andrew Drummond on the current state of the trial.
Finally, we should all send our gratitude and thanks to Reprieve.org for their tireless work on this case.
Remember, it is only because of the public outrage and international spotlight on this case that we even have a chance of receiving justice. I believe it is our collective responsibility to continue sharing updates and demanding answers from both the UK and Thai authorities. Please continue to spread awareness of this case through social media and any other means at your disposal.
Thank you all for your continued support.
