Women ask NHRC for news of kin
A group of Muslim women from the deep South yesterday appealed to the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) to help them search for their husbands and sons and give them compensation if they are not found.
Twenty four women who have lost husbands and sons to the violence between January 2004 and November last year told the commissioners they had not received any compensation as promised by the government. Ae Soh from Pattani, wife of Ibrahim Kayo, told the commissioners a military group took her husband from their home at 2am on January 8, 2004. He had not been seen since. She said the Rehabilitation Committee set up by the government to help provide assistance and compensation to families affected by the violence had confirmed her husband's disappearance was a result of violence, but the family had not received any of the promised compensation.
