Universal Declaration of Human Rights Two men Father and brother of a murdered couple Ban Tab Sadao, Nakorn Ratchasima province Voice “We wish to see a government agency to provide us with answers and see that justice is served” Two family members of a murdered couple from Ban Tab Sadao, Nakorn Ratchasima province, discuss what the rights to life, liberty and security of person means to them. They explain that their family’s problems began after the murdered couple won the state lottery. With their winnings, the couple decided to build a new house and purchase a new vehicle. However, this sudden windfall aroused suspicions that the marked improvement in the couple’s financial situation was due to illegal activity and not from the lottery. The couple was shot and killed early one morning while driving home from shopping. They explain that before their deaths, family members reported that the couple claimed to have heard rumours that they had been put on some kind of list of suspects, having been suspected of involvement in illegal drug activity because of the rapid improvement in their financial situation. After hearing this rumour and fearing for their lives, the family members explain that the wife went to police officials to show them evidence of the lottery win as proof that their fortune had not been gained through any alleged involvement with drugs. They report, however, that the police officials did not take her seriously. The family members go on to claim that although they were afraid of the rumours surrounding their circumstances, the couple did not take any particular security precautions or leave town because they believed they were safe in their innocence. After the couple was killed, their family members questioned their deaths and wondered why the state had not helped them. Moreover, following their deaths, the family reports to have received visits from police officials with a warrant to investigate a drug-related offence. On the occasion of the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the family of the deceased couple express their hope to see a government agency to provide them with answers about who killed their loved ones, as they want to ensure that the wrongdoers are punished and justice is served. 18 Dignity and Justice for All of Us
