COURTHOUSE,
July 27 – A doorman at the
Thai Mission to the UN has
sued the Kingdom of Thailand
for injuries suffered when
attacked at the Mission on
June 11, 2025 when "an unknown
third-party individual
approached and remained in
front of the Permanent Mission
premises and launched a
violent, unprovoked physical
attack."
The
complaint, which Inner City
Press found in the docket of
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York says that while the
Mission had live internal
security monitors, it feels to
monitor the feeds and failed
to intervene.
It says
this lawsuit is not blocked by
the immunity cited by other
Missions, and by the UN
itself, including on issues of
press freedom.
This case
is Valiente v. Kingdom of
Thailand, et al., 1:26-cv-6379
