-
0:01 - 0:05This is "like". This is "dislike".
-
0:08 - 0:166 years that Thailand's three Muslim provinces
have been under emergency decree -
0:17 - 0:24Countless number of people was affected by the unjust power
and control from government officers under the decree. -
0:25 - 0:30Emergency decree isn't a good law
-
0:31 - 0:41Those who were arrested got tortured in order to make them confess
-
0:41 - 0:44This is not right
-
0:45 - 0:49Because when being tortured, those who couldn't stand the pain,
they just had to admit even though they didn't do anything -
0:49 - 0:52This is not right
-
0:49 - 0:59If they really did wrong, there should be evidence and punishment accordingly
-
1:00 - 1:04Entering the 8th year of violence in three Muslim provinces
-
1:04 - 1:08Many groups and civil society organizations have been established with the same objective
and determination to see peace once again in the areas -
1:13 - 1:17As well as the Civil Society Network Against Emergency Decree
-
1:17 - 1:22that has been continuously campaigning against the decree with different activities varied from releasing statements
-
1:27 - 1:30holding different campaigns like kicking out the decree
-
1:31 - 1:33by driving classical cars and motorbikes,
-
1:34 - 1:38to organizing a people's forum against the decree
-
1:48 - 1:51Recently, the activity has been lifted to international level with "Post Peace Campaign"
-
1:56 - 2:02by allowing local people to express their opinions and intentions towards this emergency decree on postcards
-
2:02 - 2:05as reflections of their feelings and make their voices heard among representatives of international organizations.
-
2:13 - 2:20Today, we're going to make an action by collecting voices of people who want to call for stopping emergency decree
-
2:24 - 2:38by writing short messages that we want to express to the United Nations on these postcards
-
2:39 - 2:43and we'll send all of them to the head quarter of U.N. in Thailand on this coming 10 December which is the Thai Constitution Day's and also International Human Rights Day
-
2:50 - 2:52The campaign to express people's feelings on postcards
-
2:53 - 2:56has received good response from local people,
-
2:56 - 2:59especially those working in city area in Pattani that got effects from such decree.
-
3:03 - 3:09I hope the situation will be normal soon so I can work more conveniently
-
3:10 - 3:19When going to pray or elsewhere during early morning,
I don't need to worry that I'll be searched by the army or arrested for investigation -
3:19 - 3:24I think there must be campaign against emergency decree
-
3:26 - 3:30This emergency decree has been enforced for a long while
-
3:31 - 3:41and its enforcement has violated basic rights of local people in our areas
-
3:41 - 3:47We no longer agree with the emergency decree enforcement in our areas
-
3:48 - 3:55If it's still necessary to use the emergency decree then there must be justice
-
3:56 - 3:58If there's no justice, then it should be repealed
-
4:01 - 4:06The movement of the Civil Society Network Against Emergency Decree doesn't only aim to have the decree repealed
-
4:10 - 4:14but also to reduce the condition that could lead to endless violence
-
4:18 - 4:22Time has proven that the emergency decree couldn't reduce the incidents
-
4:22 - 4:26and it even creates hatred among the people who were affected by the unjust power and control of officers
-
4:30 - 4:36Therefore, should the New Year present that the current government of Ms. Yingluck Chinnawatra
-
4:39 - 4:46would give to people who oppose the emergency decree in three Muslim provinces on this coming 19 December be repealing the emergency decree?
-
4:52 - 4:53We oppose the emergency decree!
-
4:53 - 4:55We oppose the emergency decree!
-
4:56 - 4:58We oppose the emergency decree!
