Lite Beer Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Thailand celebrates Human Rights DayBANGKOK, 12 December 2014 (NNT) - Thailand has joined the worldwide celebrations of Human Rights Day by organizing an event under the theme “Reform Thailand: Understand Human Rights.”The Office of the National Human Rights Commission of Thailand (NHRC) organized the event on 10 December—the annual Human Rights Day—at the Chaeng Watthana Government Complex. Highlight of the event was a presentation of human rights awards won by 19 individuals and organizations with an outstanding record in promoting and protecting human rights in Thailand.NHCR Chairman Professor Amara Pongsapich said Thailand always ensured that human rights were recognized and respected, as seen in many political situations over the past few years. The NHCR successfully campaigned for human rights in Thailand since Thai people now realized the importance of human rights better. Thailand was committed to further improve the human rights situation and it was on its way to a better, equal society, said the chairman.There were exhibitions by national organizations and international foundations on human rights during the event. There were also performances by the Wheelchair Dancers—the winners of the Thailand's Got Talent season 4, the famous “Hope” folk band and “Hua Jai Sing” band. -- NNT 2014-12-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kooweerup Posted December 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2014 Absolute classic, comic genius. Thailand doesn't have any human rights. The dear leader stripped them away when he took the country. People must now be quite, obey and worship the dear leader and memorise his poem. The people are being ruled by the dear leader and any complaints you will be dragged away for re programming. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NongKhaiKid Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 The chairwoman is certainly toeing the party line. Reminds me of the chairman at the time of Mr. T's ' war ' on drugs who found nothing wrong with more than 2,000 people being killed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. We know about people being held for attitude adjustment and the military having ' re-education ' units in the provinces. It was reported that the leader of such a team in Khon Kaen was asked if the villagers ever spoke out against the coup and he supposedly said " they wouldn't dare ! " is this the sort of ' teaching ' from the PM that the army is to promote on social media ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaidam Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 As long as police/state officials are richly rewarded for carrying out the worst kind of human rights abuses there will be no change. Recent revelations that prove certain policemen regularly beat, abuse and extort Burmese workers, with the full and open approval of their superiors, and instead of tackling the corrupt brutality, our PM heaped praise upon the bent ones and rewarded them.(in case there is any confusion I am referring to Koh Tao police's admission that they extort money from illegal workers, under the threat of torture, in a very organized and official capacity - human rights abuses in a nutshell.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jayboy Posted December 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2014 "It was a bright day in April and all the clocks were striking thirteen" The opening words of George Orwell's 1984. The lies and deceit increase day by day, though there is some comic relief given the stupidity and lack of awareness involved. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
