Thank you very much for the article - The Arachneed ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Burmese civil society urges for a fair trial for migrant Burmese Workers in Thailand In 2013 Thailand witnessed a large increase in the influx of international tourists. As per statistics, the number of tourists visiting Thailand were approximately 20 million last year and this figure is expected to rise even further. Amid large tourist influx Thai administration is faced with the critical responsibility of maintaining a vigilant tourist infrastructure for the safety and security of the tourists and thus a lage credit for the rejuvenated tourism boom in Thailand is owed to the infrastructure which stands in place. Recently Thai tourism industry suffered a major setback as a result of the murder of two British nationals in Thailand. This case has attracted widespread media attention following the arrest of two Burmese migrant workers as suspects by the Thai police. While the Thai police had earlier stated that the 21 year old duo, had confessed to the murder of the two British nationals, recent developments surrounding the case suggest that the accused have alleged that they were tortured to unwillingly confess for the crime which they believe hasn’t been committed by them. While the lawyers of the accused have also reiterated the stance of the two young men, presently behind the bars, the Burmese civil society organizations have largely criticized the Thai police and the process of investigation. thearachneed/?p=2106
