An independent panel with no interference from the army should be formed to look into a military training session under the scorching sun in Narathiwat that sent 23 to hospital, eight of them in serious condition, a human rights advocate says.
Anchana Heemmina, who leads Duayjai Group, a Songkhla-based human rights advocacy organisation in the southernmost province, on Sunday called on the army to leave a fact-finding panel a free hand, with no representatives from the force, to probe army trainers responsible for the programme.
