Failure by police to recommend indictments against key suspects in the high-profile wildlife poaching case in Kanchanaburi on charges commensurate with the severity of their alleged crime could spark a mass protest, a leading environmental group has warned.
The Seub Nakhasathien Foundation, a well-known conservation group, said if a mass protest were to hit the streets, it would be met with huge support from members of the public.
"If no charges of premeditated killing and poaching of wildlife in the police investigation are submitted to the prosecution [against the suspects], we won't have to take the trouble of urging anyone to come out to join our movement," Sasin Chalermlarp, the foundation president, said Monday.
