  • Spanish citizen Daniel Sancho, the son of a famous actor, is accused of murder in Thailand and faces possible death penalty.
  • The Spanish government has an obligation to work to ensure a fair trial for Sancho and, if necessary, request his extradition.
  • Thailand is one of 55 countries where the death penalty is still in force.
  • Sancho professes his innocence of the charge of premeditated murder, arguing accidental homicide.
  • NGOs report overcrowding, abuse, and unsanitary conditions in Thai prisons.

Conclusion: Given these elements, it is essential that Spanish diplomacy intensify their efforts to protect the rights of their citizen abroad.
