Progress on Sea Gypsy Sirinath NP fishing case

“The arrests affect their daily life and their work. They also had to find money for the bail. We also seek clarification of the cabinet resolution to make the sea gypsy people clearly understand about what they can do to restore their lifestyle.”

Rawai’s Mayor, Arun Solos, led a group of Rawai Sea Gypsies to file a complaint this morning (January 11), in order to call for justice for the 6 fishermen arrested in Sirinath Marine National Park.

 

The mayor headed a delegation including Niran Yangpan, the community leader, village chief and sub-district chief with the 6 fishermen to hand the letter to Vice Governor Sanit Srivihok, who says he will pass it to the Governor. The letter also asks for details about the cabinet resolution in 2010 about the policy to “restore sea gypsy traditional lifestyle”.

 

“As I talked to the fishermen, they all denied fishing in the National Park area as accused but anchored there to let one of the fisherman recover from decompression. The shellfishes on the boat were from Phang Nga. The officers wouldn’t listen to them so we all come here to file a letter and appeal for justice,” said the Rawai Mayor.
