BANGKOK - A prominent activist and critic of the Laos government has been gunned down at a cafe in the capital Vientiane, with graphic footage of the murder published online by state media.
Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International condemned the murder, and urged the Laos authorities to carry out a proper investigation. The gunman steps briefly inside the cafe, seemingly to confirm his target is there, before drawing a handgun from his waistband and re-entering the cafe to fire two shots at close range.The footage shows the gunman carefully using a handkerchief to open and close the door, presumably to avoid leaving fingerprints.The police declined to comment on the investigation.
“R.I.P. Jack Anousa. We all will never forget Jack,” his friends wrote on the page. Others posted a picture of him with the hashtag JusticeForJack.
