Public had no say in Tak SEZ, NHRC finds
The National Human Rights Commission will report to the government after its investigation on 23 May into alleged human rights violations in the Tak Special Economic Development Zone. Its conclusion was that the main problem in the dispute was the lack of opportunity for public involvement in the issue. Local authorities told the investigators there was still no clear plan to relieve and compensate people who would be affected by the creation of the special development area at Tambon Tasailurt in Tak’s Mae Sot District, Thailand.
