PRESS RELEASE:
BANGKOK (NNT) – At a recent United Nations General Assembly meeting, a video clip was displayed of a victim, asserted to be Thai, inhumanely killed. Such horrific brutality has stirred a sense of outrage not only among Thais but undoubtedly people throughout the world.
The Ministry disapproves of the display of such footage, which does not afford the proper respect and due consideration for the deceased and his family.
The Ministry condemns the killing of innocent civilians, regardless of nationality, by any group, and for whatever reason.
The Ministry expresses its profound sorrow that the conflict has resulted in 32 Thai nationals having lost their lives, 19 injured and 19 abducted (as of 28 October 2023) and reiterates its call for the immediate release of all hostages and all nationals detained.
The preceding is a press release from the Thai Government PR Department.
