Dr. Thanakrit”, advisor to the Minister of Public Health, went to help the victim after the man begged for reconciliation, took her to a prison, physically abused her, and threatened her for 5 days. Dr. Thanakrit Jittareerat, advisor to the Minister of Public Health, brought Ms. Am, 31, the victim, to file a complaint against her ex-boyfriend after she asked for help because her ex-boyfriend had held her captive for several days, physically abused her, threatened to cut her face, cut her wrist tendons, cut her feet, cut her ears, and cut her hair so she could not go to work. The victim wanted to go home to her family because her house was in the same area as the perpetrator, so she was afraid that she would be harmed. Pol. Col. Nimit Nuphonthong, deputy commander of the Metropolitan Police Bureau 6 (deputy commander of the Metropolitan Police Bureau 6), who was acting as the superintendent of the Pathumwan Metropolitan Police Station, police investigators, and officers from the Department of Rights and Libe rties Protection, Ministry of Justice, provided assistance. Ms. Am, the victim, said that she had been in a relationship with the man for about 2 years. After that, she often argued with him because he was moody, jealous, and had a history of drug use. So she decided to break up with him for 6 months. Later, the man tried to persuade her to reconcile by pretending to talk nicely. Then, they agreed to meet halfway at Wongwian Yai to clear up the problem. But after meeting, she was detained at the man's house in Rong Muang Subdistrict, Pathum Wan District, Bangkok from September 16-20, 2024. And her passport was seized because she had to work abroad often. Ms. Am continued that while she was being held captive, they had an argument. The man used scissors to cut her hair, threatened to hurt her with a knife, cut her face, shaved her head, and cut her wrist and ankle tendons. She was also held captive in the man's house with a chain locking her outside. The only way to escape was to jump out of the back room, w hich was a 3-story building. However, she took advantage of the moment when the man was not home and shouted for help. She escaped on September 20, 2014, between 8:00 and 9:00 p.m. After that, she went to file a complaint to prosecute. Ms. Am asked for help from the authorities so that she could return home to be with her family because she is currently unable to go to work due to having her hair cut. She is also afraid that she will not be safe if she returns to live in her own house because it is in the same area as the perpetrators. The perpetrators have threatened her, causing her to live in fear and fear for her life. Dr. Thanakrit said that the victim was threatened with physical harm, death threats, had her hair shaved, and while she was being held captive, she was sexually abused. All of the behaviors that occurred had a history of drug use. While at the man's house, which was the place where she was being held captive, the man's mother was also in the house, but she did not provide assistance becau se she was afraid that she would be harmed as well. However, the victim took the opportunity when the man was not there to shout and call for people nearby to help open the door, so she was able to escape. The victim pleaded for safety because she was threatened with death and physical harm in various ways, so that the woman could not escape. Dr. Thanakrit said that violence and physical assault within the family should not occur and should not be overlooked. If such incidents are found, assistance should be provided and understanding should be created between both parties as much as possible to prevent any violence that could endanger the lives of either party.
