PHETCHABURI: Two hunters were wounded in a fight with forest rangers and then arrested with six dead grey langurs in their possession on Monday morning, Kaeng Krachan National Park chief Somjate Janthana said on Tuesday.
Ten human rights organisations have called for the dismissal of senior national parks official Chaiwat Limlikit-aksorn and three others from the civil service for their alleged role in the disappearance and death of Karen activist Porlajee “Billy” Rakchongcharoen nine years ago.
The eldest child of missing Karen rights activist Porlajee "Billy" Rakchongcharoen enrolled in university this year, while her younger siblings are school students, some with financial help from kind-hearted donors. The youngest remains at home in Phetchaburi with his mum and Billy's widow Pinnapa "Mueno" Prueksapan.
