They were punished with confinement for three months and criminal charges for assault are under further consideration.
Additionally, disciplinary punishments were imposed on responsible personnel for dereliction of duty and failure to supervise troops properly, including the unit duty sergeant who was confined for seven days, the company commander confined to quarters for seven days, and the section chief confined to quarters for three days. The injured soldiers have been sent for medical treatment at Thanarat Camp Hospital.
The Army thanks all parties involved for reporting and investigating the misconduct within the military unit, consistent with the Army’s policy to strictly enforce military discipline and command.
