Thaksin's drug war cited to slam suppression lecture

Bangkok Post

|

May 27, 2025

Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra will today deliver a special lecture on drug suppression at the Office of Narcotics Control Board (ONCB), in an event that has drawn sharp criticism given his controversial “war on drugs” in 2003.

- POST REPORTERS

Justice Minister Pol Col Tawee Sod-song confirmed yesterday that Thaksin, who was invited in his capacity as an adviser to the Asean chair, has accepted the ONCB’s invitation to speak at the event “Narcotics and Transnational Crime: Perspectives and Challenges”.

The invitation immediately drew criticism from observers who said Thaksin has a questionable record when it comes to drug suppression.
