BANGKOK: Forner Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, whose 2003 “War on Drugs” policy led to over 2,800 extrajudicial killings, declared a new war on drugs on Tuesday (May 27). This time, he vowed to scan communities for drug pushers on behalf of the Interior Minister and the national police chief.
Thaksin announced the campaign during a special speech at the Office of the Narcotics Control Board on the topic “Narcotics, transborder crimes, attitude and challenges for sustainable solutions.”
