Pulony.blogspot.com That appeared in the fact in the document ISOC will propose to the Extraordinary Commission to consider the draft budget for fiscal year 2020, the House of Representatives and then was led to the mistrust of the council. That later the representative of ISOC. It has announced that the website Pulony.blogspot.com. It’s the real ISOC website
By the prosecution The Prime Minister’s Office was identified as the first defendant because ISOC was an agency established in the Prime Minister’s Office, while the second defendant was the Army, while the Prime Minister was the Director of the ISOC. Commander of the Army, General of the 4th Zone, as supervisor Having examined the work of subordinates or not. If not examined, it will be considered an omission of duty. Not allowing subordinates to obey the law in accordance with the established vision or mission. Also in the online world Performers are not obliged to be anonymous and rely on their anonymity. Resulting in the victim feeling powerless Falling into a fragile state Prolonged stress and anxiety Equivalent to severe psychological suffering What is considered torture AND other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. Therefore, the Thai state has a duty to compensate and compensate the victims fairly, in which the prosecution asks the two prosecutors together or instead to pay compensation for Ms. Angkana 3 million baht and Mrs. Anchana. 2 million baht, which is compensation for reputation, honor, fame and remedy for damage to the mind caused by defamation, which is a serious violation of human dignity. To set the standard that government agencies must respect and protect the rights and freedoms of all people.
Angkhana, as a plaintiff, mentioned this lawsuit that he has been a victim of the Information Technology (IO) operation since he was working on human rights. He noted that there were more IO attacks after the 2014 coup, especially while serving as the National Human Rights Commissioner. Who is responsible for the work of civil and political rights and human rights in the southern border provinces In particular, they almost always comment on the performance of duties of the security body in case of human rights violations. Often attacked for false statements Misrepresenting online Allowing people to express their opinions with hate attacks. Including the use of sex as a tool to reduce human dignity. What is considered a serious psychological impact. And although the accusation has been denounced three times, both in the Technological Crimes Suppression Division (POT) and in the police station. But there is no legal progress Therefore, you think you should exercise your own right in court. Asking for the power of the court as a refuge in the direction of justice And stop doing it
Angkhana said the state has a duty to protect its citizens from harassment. Being slandered or hated for doing IO, either by order of the government. Or the state considers OR know but not prohibit and I will not stop doing that It is considered an omission of duty. That caused all the human rights violations To take the case to court today Because at the beginning of the year There was a budget debate in the House of Representatives. A report on the budget consumption of government agencies in the southern border provinces has been published under the supervision of ISOC, the fourth sector, which supports online media. That made news about the southern border provinces That this online medium has always attacked itself Although sometimes it did not mention his name But he brought his photo to put it as an illustration And he heads the headline that causes hatred for human rights activists. Make people look at it and misinterpret it
Angkhana said the aim of the lawsuit was to hold the state responsible for the damages caused. When you stop acting like this Ask the responsible person to remove the fake message. False information that constitutes an impediment Along with cure the damage that has occurred And restore dignity as an apology The guarantee of not doing this again in the future. Including compensation for damages resulting from the violation of human dignity.
“Acts of information operations of the State or of agencies or organizations sponsored by the government It must be based on truthful and verifiable information and must not violate the rights and human dignity of people through the use of false news. Or false information to hate women, human rights defenders Especially in the case of the southern border provinces The state must be sincere. Using false information to hate human rights defenders does not lead to lasting solutions. Instead, it would cause the state to lose more people’s trust, ”said the former NHRC.
Ms. Anchana Khammmina, former member of the Deep South National Human Rights Subcommittee And the chairman of the group with heart said that after making a report on the torture that occurred In the southern border provinces They attack themselves online, accusing them and reinforcing the falsehood that they support the movement. And hostile to the state There are also threats to them and their families.
“They will see us all the time. Someone commented on Facebook Attacking with rude words, being disrespectful, it impacts us psychologically, we feel the noise of becoming clowns. He does not look at the work we do. But believing that what appears on social networks attacks us It uses images and content that diminish the value of our work, ”said Ms. Anchana.
Ms. Anchana also stated that to this day, false images and messages are posted online. Therefore, legal action is necessary. Because he didn’t want the government to use the people’s tax money to attack the people. And he is one of the people who does good things. I hope to improve the human rights issue. But why was the party being attacked by government officials?
While Mr. Sanya Eidjongdee, a lawyer, said that considering the budget for fiscal year 2020, the details of the news practice report of the website Pulony.blogspot.com is owned by ISOC operating in two parts, providing information . With the destruction of the trust of the agency OR people working in the southern border provinces Relying on equipment, tools, personnel and taxes from the public to carry out this mission Which is considered incorrect Distorted AND is incompatible with the vision and mission of ISOC, who hopes to create understanding with the people in the area. But what they do is create a division.
“Both plaintiffs want to sue in order to disclose. Expose this entire process When in doubt as to whether the City Council will continue to approve the budget for this type of works or in the last 3 fiscal years, ISOC reported that 140 cases of attacks on opponents have been carried out. That’s too bad. It shouldn’t happen. The city council has to pass the public tax budget to attack the town. Or create a division, “said the contractor.
Mr. Surachai Tongngam, a lawyer, said that this lawsuit is expected to establish the rules to investigate the exercise of state power that conducts information operations in an abusive, distorting, slanderous way to the defense movement. And defenders are expected to be protected through justice. And have the general public examine the use of power by government agencies. This makes it a common perceived problem that abuse of state power should be examined.
Surachai said that according to the principle of violation, there must be remedies for damages. Including allowing staff, officials or the organization must have responsibility, such as criminal, disciplinary, in addition to being audited by Congress. That can be examined through the policies of various departments. If it is proven that human dignity has been violated intentionally by means of information The operative information against this defender has been carried out in a systematic way. That becomes increasingly clear Later, after filing a lawsuit The court scheduled an appointment for two sites on January 20, 2021 at 9:00 am
