Abstract
The promulgation of legislation to prevent and suppress torture and enforced disappearance in Thailand has been an issue of public scrutiny for many years, unfortunately with repeated setbacks. As cases continue to emerge, including a case involving police officers who allegedly interrogated a drug suspect by beating him with his head covered in plastic bags and demanding a bribe, public pressure prompted the Thai parliament to revisit and enact the Draft Prevention and Suppression of Torture and Enforced Disappearance Act B.E.—, which had remained idle for a few years. This short commentary on the development of this draft legislation is an adaptation of a research report written by the author for King Prajadhipok's Institute, entitled “Legislation to Prevent and Suppress Torture and Enforced Disappearance,” published in November 2021.
