Stir fry beans and chili. Dried squid.\u00a0 These were a few dishes that visitors could taste at an exhibition that highlighted the favourite food of loved ones, who were suddenly snatched from their families. Until today some do not know whether they are alive or dead.\u00a0 A number of those who went missing were confirmed to have been murdered. A climate of fear that one may be arrested, or worse, for insulting the monarchy, has increased difficulties in seeking the truth, let alone justice for the families. <\/span><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n

For the commemoration of the International Day of Enforced Disappearances, Cross Cultural Foundation invited family members of some missing activists to engage in an exhibition on 30 August 2024. They were asked to bring the favourite dishes of their loved ones, to share with visitors. Many among over 200 visitors said the exhibition and the families\u2019 stories helped them understand more about enforced disappearances and the impact on the families.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Among the family members was Kanya Teerawut, the mother of missing activist Siam Teerawut. He was among nine political activists who fled charges and sought refuge in Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, from 2017 to 2021, according to Thailand\u2019s National Human Rights Commission.\u00a0 Another family member was the son of Chatcharn Bupphawan, who was one of two murdered victims among the missing activists. Both were found dead in the Mekong river bordering Laos in late 2018, their bodies stuffed with concrete. <\/span><\/p>\n

At the event, Kanya Teerawut remarked, \u201cI remember very well that my son loves to eat stir-fried beans and chili. He asked me to cook it for him every day.\u201d Her son went missing on May 8, 2019. In 2023 Kanya and the wife of another missing prominent activist, Surachai Sae Dan, filed a complaint with the public prosecutor demanding an inquiry into the disappearances, under the new 2022 Act on Prevention and Suppression of Torture and Enforced Disappearance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gogarn, the son of Bupphawan, recalled the family\u2019s last meal with him.\u00a0 \u201cMy dad loves to eat various things. If we talk about his favourite dish, he likes to cook bamboo shoot curry and dried squid. The year that he died, I went to see him in Laos and brought him dried squid. That was the last time that we had a meal together.\u201d\u00a0 The exhibit reminded the public of too many unresolved cases of torture, enforced disappearances, arbitrary detention, and extra-judicial killings in Thailand.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n
