Thai lawyers' council to investigate alleged killing by soldiers

Thai Army soldiers stand on the Thai side of the border crossing in Chong Kaep town as they wait for the arrival of alleged victims from scam centres in Myanmar, in Phop Phra district in Thailand's Tak province, Feb. 12, 2025.

An influential lawyers’ association in Thailand said Thursday it is launching an investigation into the alleged killing of a Myanmar man by Thai soldiers last year, a move it says could lead to lawsuits against any officers involved.
