A/HRC/28/68/Add.1 549. The Rapporteur takes note of the information provided by the Government of Thailand that Ms. Khongkachonkiet has been invited to take an advisory position on a committee related to the conduct of Army officers. The Rapporteur also takes not of the information regarding training for the Army Ranger Force on the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel Inhuman or Degrading Treatment. The reply does not clarify whether the charges originally faced by Ms. Khonkachonkiet have been dismissed. Neither does it address the matter of whether there has been any investigation into alleged mistreatment of the two human rights defenders. 550. The Rapporteur acknowledges the account of the Government in response to the concerns, legal obligations and questions raised in the initial communication. The Rapporteur notes that no information was provided regarding Mr. Homla-or. The Rapporteur concludes that the Government of Thailand has failed to protect the physical and psychological integrity of Ms. Khongkachonkiet and Mr. Homla-or as well as their right to be free from torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, as provided by articles 1 and 16 of the CAT. (d) JUA 10/10/2014 Case No. THA 11/2014 State Reply: 14/10/2014 Allegations of arbitrary arrest and detention, as well as torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, by military officers, of five persons in and around Bangkok. 551. The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government of Thailand for its reply, dated 14.10.2014, to the present communication. 552. The Rapporteur takes note of the information provided by the Government of Thailand that the letter was forwarded to the relevant agencies in Thailand. 553. The Rapporteur finds that the Government, in its reply, does not sufficiently address the concerns, legal obligations, and questions raised in the initial communication, and thereby fails to fully and expeditiously cooperate with the mandate issued by the Human Rights Council in its resolution 25/13, as well as to comply with its obligation, under international customary law, to investigate, prosecute and punish all acts of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, as codified, inter alia, in the Convention against Torture (CAT). 554. In the absence of sufficient information to the contrary, the Rapporteur concludes that there is substance in the allegations presented in the initial communication, that Mr. Chatchawan Prabbhumrung, Ms. Saewngwan Nakrien, Mr. Somsri Marit, Mr. Taweechai Wichakham, and Mr. Bancha Khotphuthorn have been arbitrarily arrested and detained and subjected to torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment by military officers. Further, the Special Rapporteur expresses grave concern regarding the allegations that these persons have been threatened to be executed and remain in detention. Thus, the Rapporteur concludes that that the Government of Thailand, by failing to protect the physical and psychological integrity of these individuals, has violated their right free from torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, as provided by articles 1 and 16 of the CAT. (e) UA 01/07/2014 Case No. THA 7/2014 State Reply: 16/07/2014 Allegations concerning the situation of over 430 persons claiming to be Turks, who are currently held in various immigration detention centres and facilities of the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security in Thailand. 555. The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government of Thailand for its reply, 16.07.2014, to the present communication. 556. The Rapporteur takes note of the information provided by the Government of Thailand, that the letter has been forwarded to the relevant agencies in Thailand and that the Government is conducting an investigation on the case, but has now placed women and 92
