The Department of Special Investigation will consider, within a month, whether to challenge the prosecutors’ decision to drop all but one of the charges against former Kaeng Krachan national park officials in connection with the disappearance and suspected murder of Karen rights activist Porlajee “Billy” Rakchongcharoen.

 

At a news conference, held after the Office of Special Cases of the Office of the Attorney-General clarified the reason for its decision, DSI deputy spokesman and director of Special Cases Centre, Pol Maj Woranan Srilum, said that the prosecutors dropped all the major charges, without any recommendation that the DSI to find more evidence to back its case.

 

This means that, if the DSI decides to challenge the prosecutors’ ruling to the attorney-general, it would have to rely on the existing evidence and could not seek new evidence.
