Narathiwat: The Internal Security Operations Command Region 4 (ISOC Region 4) has underscored the necessity of ending violence to achieve peace, emphasizing communication through official government channels.
According to Thai News Agency, Colonel Ekwirith Chobchuporn, Deputy Spokesperson of the Internal Security Operations Command Region 4 Forward, addressed claims made by an individual purporting to be the commander of an armed faction of the BRN movement in Narathiwat province. This individual proposed conditions for disarmament and the withdrawal of government personnel. However, there is no verified information regarding the identity, status, or authority of this person, necessitating caution in interpreting such claims, which cannot be used to verify the position of any organization or group.
The Internal Security Operations Command Region 4 Forward Headquarters has reiterated that Thailand possesses mechanisms and channels for achieving peace, which function within the legal framework and state policies. Should any individual wish to halt violence, return to the legal process, or provide information beneficial to resolving the situation, the state is prepared to engage through official channels, ensuring the rule of law, fairness, and the protection of all parties' rights. The public is reminded that sustainable peace can only be reached through a genuine cessation of violence and concrete actions, not merely through claims or unilateral media communication. The Internal Security Operations Command Region 4 Forward Headquarters remains committed to ensuring public safety, enforcing the law impartially, and supporting all measures that lead to reducing violence and fostering peace under the Constitution, laws, and the best interests of the nation.
The public is urged to seek information from government agencies and reliable news sources, exercising judgment to avoid falling prey to misinformation or misunderstandings about the situation in the region.
