Eight-year-old girl succumbed to injuries

 

 

An eight-year-old girl succumbed to injuries inflicted in an attack against the rally of the People's Democratic Reform Committee in Trat Saturday night that also saw 34 others injured, a doctor said.

 

Doctor Anurak Amornphetsathaporn, director of the Emergency Public Health Office of the Public Health Ministry, said the girl has died and 29 injured victims are still in hospitals. Five of them were severely wounded, he said.

 

Thirty-five people were injured in the attack against the rally in Trat’s Khao Saming district at about 9.30pm. One of them, the girl later succumbed to the injuries.

 

The spokesman of the People's Democratic Reform Committee in Trat Sunday expressed confidence that the attackers who lobbed grenades and fired at a PDRC rally in the northern province are not local people.

 

Trat PDRC spokesman Suwicharn Suwannakha said all local people know and love each other well and he believe they are not opposed to the rally.

 

"All local people know each other. We expected no one to cause disturbance. We have no people from the other side here. We're confident that the rally would have been safe," Suwicharn said.

 

Suwicharn recounted that the attack happened while Pong Sarakham, a PDRC leader, was making a speech to about 2,000 people.

 

The spokesman said he heard a few explosions and sounds of gunfire and saw chairs in front of the rally stage scattered. Some people ran for their life and other lied down.

 

"It was chaotic. I saw two pick-up trucks speed away. I believe they were attackers," Suwicharn said.

 

He said the Trat PDRC had made good preparations and did not expect that the rally would be attacked.

Attackers given 'tacit' authority support: PDRC

 

 

People's Democratic Reform Committee co-leader Witthaya Kaewparadai suspects the Centre for Maintaining Peace and Order and police failed to arrest assailants who hurled grenades near the PDRC rally at the Pratunam intersection on Friday because they "allegedly gave tacit support to them".

 

Speaking yesterday, Witthaya said the police had repeatedly failed to arrest assailants who launched several bomb attacks at PDRC rallies.

 

"Their inefficiency and failure have made the culprits continue to commit more offences," he said.

 

"But I personally believe the police and the CMPO do not capture any of the assailants because they allegedly gave tacit support to them.

 

"Having the CMPO is a waste. It was established only to abuse power and intimidate people. I never expect it to capture the culprits.''

 

Pheu Thai Party deputy spokesman Anusorn Iamsa-ard said police believed perpetrators threw the grenades from the flyover next to the PDRC rally stage.

 

Police found a pin believed to belong to the time-delayed RGD5 hand grenade, which is similar to the grenades used in the attacks at Bantadthong Road and Victory Monument.

 

Given the repeated violence, Anusorn questioned whether the PDRC could call its rallies a peaceful demonstration.

 

He also questioned whether it was possible the so-called men in black from the 2010 political riots had returned to carry out the same operation this year.

 

He said those who benefited from the recurrence of the violence were suspected to be behind it.

 

Five men and a woman were injured in the bomb attack on Friday night.

 

Five sustained minor injuries and one suffered a serious back wound and has been admitted to Chulalongkorn Hospital.

 

All up, 16 people have been killed and 659 injured since November 30, with 25 still in hospital, according to the Erawan Emergency Centre.
