The Supreme Court has ordered the Royal Thai Army (RTA) to pay 2 million baht in compensation for the death of Lahu human rights activist Chaiyaphum Pasae, who was shot dead at a checkpoint in Chiang Mai.
Writing on the CrCF’s fan page on Facebook, the court stated that the RTA took full responsibility for Chaiyaphum’s death and had to pay 120,000 baht for his funeral ceremony, a 50,000 baht lawyer’s fee and another 1,952,400 baht to Chaiyaphum’s mother — or 2,072,400 baht in total.
Payment was ordered to be paid within 30 days.
