The National Human Rights Committee and DSI officials have relocated Canadian Carly Reisig, who was shot by a policeman in Pai last month after all her belongings were stolen, apparently when she was in hospital.

National Human Rights Commissioner Surasee Kosolnavin said he believed neither Reisig, from Chilliwack, B.C. or her boyfriend Rattaporn Varavadee, 36,  ‘Fune’ from Surin were safe to stay in the town after giving evidence to local police. They said they had hoped to say goodbye to friends.

“We moved her because we were concerned among other things that if she stayed her belongings could turn up at a later date with something illegal in them. This sort of thing has happened,” he said.

This followed an incident outside the prosecutor’s office in Mae Hong Son when Lt-Colonel Sombat Panya, head of the criticised police investigation approached Rattaporn.

Rattaporn, who together with Ms Reisig, has claimed that the fatal shooting of Leo Del Pinto, 24, from Calgary, was murder, not an accident said: “He told me to go and see him in his office in Pai.  It’s not safe for me to go there. I have been imaging the variety of things which could happen to me.”

The National Human Rights Committee will meet Wednesday. They will rescue that the Department of Investigations takes over the investigation into the killing of Leo Del Pinto.
