Four graves discovered in suspected unsanctioned Jewish cemetery in Chachoengsao
10 Sept 12:31Key points summarised by AI
Authorities uncovered four graves at a 0.96-hectare plot in Chachoengsao, suspected of being an unauthorized Jewish cemetery, following community complaints.
The inspection revealed three graves appeared recently buried without proper authorization, contrasting with established, framed graves.
Investigators are determining if bodies have been disposed of at the site since its graveyard and crematorium operating permit reportedly expired.
Local residents have consistently protested the cemetery's establishment since 2023, citing concerns over its proximity to homes, a school, and natural water sources.
CP Group denies role in CPRAM’s holy basil protection applications
Today 11:10Key points summarised by AI
CP Group explicitly denies involvement in CPRAM's decisions to research and apply for plant variety protection of four holy basil varieties, countering widespread media reports.
The group clarifies that CPRAM operates as an independent entity under CP ALL, a listed subsidiary, with its own management and decision-making authority, separate from CP Group's direct control.
CP Group refutes inaccurate media claims suggesting it secured protection over all holy basil varieties, which caused public alarm and damaged its reputation.
While supporting the development of new plant varieties to benefit farmers, CP Group emphasizes that such efforts must not infringe upon farmers' rights to cultivate and use native plant varieties.
