Angkhana Neelaphaijit

In 2003, four Thai Muslims (Waemahadi Wae-dao, a doctor; Maisuru Haji Abdulloh, a school owner; his son, Muyahid; and a manual labourer, Samarn Wae-kaji) were arrested and charged with planning bombings for the militant Islamic organization Jemaah Islamiyah.

"[7] On 17 March 2011, after several delays, a Thai appeals court acquitted Ngern Thongsuk, the only convicted defendant in the case, saying that it had not been conclusively determined whether Somchai had died.

"[8] The Asian Human Rights Commission condemned the verdict and renewed calls for police to investigate continued threats against Angkhana and her family.

[9] On 30 April 2019, the National Human Rights Commission (Thailand) began a disciplinary inquiry of Angkhana on the basis of political partiality accusations.

The commission’s leadership has repeatedly failed to hold the military government to its human rights obligations, but it appears now to be doing the junta's dirty work.

"[10] Angkhana currently serves as the chairwoman of the Working Group for Justice and Peace, and continues to investigate allegations of police abuse in southern Thailand.

[16] In 2011, Josefina Bergsten's documentary UNJUST, which prominently features Angkhana's story, was given a Special Jury Award at the Hague's Movies that Matter Festival.
