A youth campaign network holds a press conference on Wednesday to mourn the death of Lahu activist Chaiyapoom Pasae who died in an extra-judicial. Ms Angkhana said other relatives of Chaiyapoom also demanded answers from authorities as to why they shot him to death. Ms Angkhana said that Mr Maitree, a neighbour of Chaiyapoom, was the one who called on the government to probe the case. Furthermore on March 22 Mr Maitree found a bullet in front of his house, a warning not to talk. Shortly after the extra-judicial killing of Chaiyapoom hit the headlines, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha ordered a probe into the incident.
