Alleged arbitrary arrest, detention, ill-treatment and torture in custody of a student
activist by members of the military forces. According to the information received, Ms.
Kritsuda Khunasen, a student activist advocating for the “Red Shirts” supporters of
the ousted Prime Minister Thakshin Shinawatra, was allegedly detained in an
unidentified military camp without charges from 28 May to 24 June 2014. It is
reported that soldiers interrogated Ms. Khunasen on a daily basis and punched her in
her face, head, stomach and entire body. In addition, soldiers reportedly put a plastic
bag over her head and wrapped a piece of cloth around it to suffocate her. On 25 June
2014, Ms. Khunasen was released from military custody. It is alleged that on 10
August 2014, the Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant against her without
reasonable grounds. A previous communication concerning the summoning and arrest
of demonstrators by the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) was sent on 28
May 2014, see A/HRC/27/72, case no. 6/2014.
