“I made a strong impact on the Thai society that“ forced disappearance ”really occurs. I would like to reiterate that anyone can be a victim unless there is an effective mechanism to prevent it.” Thai human rights activist Ankana Nielapaijit (63) said, touching on the “Billy case”, which is bringing back Thai media again.

In April 2014, a human rights activist, Paulazy, from ethnic minority Karen, went missing in the province of Phetchaburi Province in western Thailand.

Paulazy is known as “Billy”. At the time, Karen people who had been asked to leave the national park in the county were burned home, and Billy's help was suing the park's management officials.

The incident happened in the middle. The executives admitted that Billy was temporarily detained for "illegally collecting honey," but argued that it was released after warning. The executives were eventually charged with no evidence that Billy was involved in the missing case, and the investigation of the truth was not progressing.

However, in April and May this year, police who were investigating a reservoir in a national park discovered a sinking drum. Among them, a part of the human skull that seems to have been baked at a high temperature was found, and as a result of DNA type examination, it was said to coincide with Mr. Billy's mother.
