At a military base outside Phnom Penh, two elderly defendants initially refused to cooperate following the October 2014 opening of the second stage of their trial for presiding over mass killings during the 1975–79 Khmer Rouge regime. A third defendant died in early 2013, a few months after a fourth was ruled unfit to be tried. So far only one case at the Tri- bunal has run its full course, that of a former torture-center chief who is currently serving a life sentence. Cambodia’s authoritarian government (it has long been rated Not Free by Freedom House) is blocking any further arrests, and the US$200 million that the international community has spent so far on a flawed “hybrid” tribunal (it is considered both Cam- bodian and international) will probably result in just three convictions.

  • The State Funeral of HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana Kroma Luang Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra
    The State Funeral of HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana Kroma Luang Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra 2 January 2008 Her Royal Highness the Princess Galyani Vadhana, Princess of Naradhiwas was admitted into the Siriraj Hospital in June 2007 for cancer treatment. While she was at the hospital, she still attended functions once in a while, until October when the Royal Household Bureau first announced an update on the Princess' health on 25 October 2007. Since then her health had deteriorated, and the public became worried. The bad news came on the morning of 2 January 2008, when the Thai people tuned on their TVs and radios to hear the morning news and found out that the Princess had passed away at 2.54am that day. Although many had sort of expected this bad news since her health was at a point where the doctors could not do anything anymore, it was still a shock that the beloved Princess has finally departed the world. The picture of His Majesty leaving the hospital after his sister has died, which was printed in all the newspapers the next day, prety much summed up how he felt, as well as how the Thai people felt. His Majesty has accorded the highest honour for his only sister, and arranged for her bathing rites to take place at the Piman Rataya Throne Hall, follow by the lying in state at the Dusit Maha Prasart Throne Hall in the Grand Palace, the same practice as past Kings and senior members of the Royal Family, which included HM Queen Sri Bajarindra, King Rama VIII, and more recently HM Queen Rambai Barni in 1984 and HRH the Princess Sri Nagarindra, the Princess Mother in 1995.

The Princess Mother of Thailand studied healthcare, nutrition, chemistry, and childcare between 1921 and 1927.

United Kingdom [email protected] Since the start of the millennium, Thailand has seen the resurgence of separat- ist violence in its pre-dominantly Malay-speaking southern-border provinces. Whereas it was generally thought that the anti-Thai insurgency that domi- nated much of the twentieth century had receded during the 1990s, sporadic acts of terrorist violence resurfaced during 2001 and subsequent years. The Thai government headed by Thaksin Shinawatra (2001-2006) treated these sporadic acts of violence as the work of bandits. It was 4 January 2004 when the insurgency in the south took a new turn with a raid on an army barracks in the most southern province of Narathiwat. The protagonists separated the Thai Buddhists from the Thai Muslim soldiers and murdered them in cold blood. They also stole a large quantity of ammunition and grenades. While this was occurring, 22 schools were torched in different locations.
