Cartoon title: Are you Thai? [meaning a real Thai person would not object to eliminating drug dealers]
On the arm: Human right academics
On the knife blade: United Nations
On packet in sitting man’s hand: Ya ba [amphetamines]
On briefcase: Money derived from Ya ba trafficking
2004: Amnesty International: Thailand’s three-month anti-drugs campaign leads to 2,245 deaths
2007: Update: Post from 2007 refuting the “2275” number (2275 : Where Did This Number Come From?) and positing that 1,329 is more accurate (the police admit to only 72 extra-judicial killings).
…Finally, AFP who were originally the source of HRW’s 2,275 figure later quote HRW and make the same mistake:
The government’s drugs campaign started in February 2003 with some 2,275 extrajudicial killings in the first three months, according to the US-based group Human Rights Watch (HRW).
COMMENT: Let that be a lesson, don’t quote a source who earlier quoted you. Otherwise, you you will turn like the AFP!…
2008: It was the subsequent Thaksin-directed governments that talked up the numbers of dead to appeal to the public. The interior minister Chalerm Yubamrung, said: “When we implement a policy that may bring 3,000 to 4,000 bodies, we will do it,”
