— The United Nations issued a letter urging the Cambodian authorities
to locate a missing Thai fugitive activist who disappeared in Phnom Penh
last week.
Sitanan Satsaksit, sister of missing activist Wanchalearm Satsaksit,
told the media Wednesday that the UN’s Committee on Enforced
Disappearances received her request to find her missing brother. The
letter, released by the U.N. high commissioner on human rights, marked
the case as “Urgent.”
“In view of the information provided, the Committee sent a note verbale
to the State party on 10 June 2020 requesting its immediate urgent
action in compliance with article 30 of the Convention,” the letter
says.
Prachatai reported that the U.N. gave a time limit to the Cambodian government to reply within two weeks.
The U.N. is the most high profile organization calling for an explanation over Wanchalearm’s disappearance so far.
Thailand’s office of the U.N. agency on refugees and its Thai goodwill
ambassador, Praya “Pu” Lundberg, recently came under fire for their
refusal to speak up about the alleged abduction.
