(Post Today photo)The resignation of Surachet Satitniramai from the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) may set off a domino effect of resignations unless the working environment improves, sources say. NHRC commissioner Angkhana Neelapaijit told the Bangkok Post she would not hesitate to follow Mr Surachet's footsteps, saying she has had to exercise much patience in the position as the working atmosphere among commissioners turned unpleasant. The former NHRC commissioner referred to an "an unpleasant working environment" in his resignation form, but declined to elaborate. In response to his resignation, Mr Wat told the media he wasn't aware of an unpleasant working atmosphere. Mr Wat also said all NHRC commissioners should be dedicated to their jobs to protect human rights.
