在美国对伊朗发动空袭、引发地区冲突升级并导致霍尔木兹海峡航运安全受到严重威胁的背景下,三名曾在该海域遭遇袭击的前船员于曼谷中央劳动法院对其运营商 Precious Shipping Co.及相关方提起诉讼 [1]。原告 Panithi Tumkaew、Noppadon Wongsuvan 和 Surades Manpuen 指控公司违反劳工权利并对其进行非法解雇 [1]。
此次诉讼源于一起发生在霍尔木兹海峡的袭击事件,该事件造成三人死亡,其余二十人获救并被送回泰国 [1]。原告声称,他们在袭击中遭受了创伤后应激障碍(PTSD),因此无法继续工作 [1]。他们要求每人获得超过 100 万泰铢(约 30,000 美元)的赔偿 [1]。被告方包括 Precious Shipping Co.、其关联公司以及涉事船长 [1]。
Three former crew members of a Thai cargo ship that was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz have filed a lawsuit against their operator, Precious Shipping Co., and related parties at Bangkok's Central Labor Court [1]. The plaintiffs—Panithi Tumkaew, Noppadon Wongsuvan, and Surades Manpuen—are accusing the company of violating labor rights and illegally dismissing them following the incident [1]. They claim that injuries sustained during the attack have led to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), rendering them unable to continue working in their previous roles [1]. Each plaintiff is seeking compensation exceeding 1 million Thai baht, approximately $30,000 USD [1]. The legal action comes amid escalating tensions between the United States and Iran, which have disrupted shipping safety in the Strait of Hormuz following U.S. airstrikes on Iranian targets and retaliatory strikes by Iran against its allies [1]. During the attack, three individuals died while 20 others were rescued and returned to Thailand [1].
