You know harry,,, normally when you post pages of articles I mostly read
the header or subject only,, then your comments,,,

This one I read a few lines,,, mostly all of this I know,,, except for the
dictator part by P.M. Thaksin who enjoys about 90% elected support.

Harry,, there are muslim extremists killing teachers in the south, near
the Malaysian border and just yesterday several thousand teachers went on
strike because I think about a dozen have been killed by extreme muslims.
Not on strike for money, or walking off the job for benefits, days off,
hours reduced, etc etc,, they walked off the job to protest to Thaksin for
more fiercer action to rid the terrorists off Thai land,,, I would think
you would understand a striking action like that,,, I do,,,

And what is wrong with Thaksin's war on drugs,,, it almost stopped the
dealers from getting chemical drugs on the school property,,, remember,, I
said they are ahead of you in many things,, even the drug dealers are
ahead of you people,,, they make chemical drugs, very powerful, very
cheap, very effective and sell it to the west also,,, you would think
killing a few thousand of them,,, who shoot at you when you go to arrest
them as what actually happened,,, you would think you would think
differently on that issue,,, Do you use drugs Harry?


But keep reading the news articles harry,, if anything comes out that you
do not understand,, just ask,,

Try and find some GDP or economic measurement,, some street murder
comparison,, crime rate,,, I mean how many Americans have to lock their
doors at night,,, their cars,, etc etc,, if your car breaks down on the
highway,,, you get robbed and your car stolen,,, especially if you are a
woman,, in my country,, the first car will stop and change your tire,,,

Keep reading harry,, try a visit,,, lol,,, ouch,, ha ha ouch that was
funny,,, o,, I can just imagine Harry walking down a street in bangkok,,
you would have spent your entire budget in a day,,, believe me harry, my
people who even work the streets are smarter than you,,,

Figured out what 0 C means yet, dunderhead?


I fear for the future of my country if it's in the hands of people like
Tuuk. Hopefully most immigrants are good, solid hard working
citizens..not
some superior feeling , privileged and pampered spoiled brat who thinks
he
owns the world just because the workers back home have to bow and scrape

their daily morsel of food.



Thailand, his home country, is a right-wing dictatorship:

he Narathiwat massacre is yet another gruesome warning of the growing
intolerance and bigotry of the Thaksin government.

The assembly of around 3,000 people, unarmed and mostly young men, in the
district of Tak Bai of Narathiwat Province, in the south of Thailand on
October 25 ended with more than 85 people dead, 60 missing, and 1,300
detained. Most of them were Muslims. They were protesting against the
detention of six village volunteers who were arrested earlier under the
suspicion of supporting Islamic militants with weapons stolen from the
government.

After the protest's violent dispersal by some 1,000 military troops with
tear gas and gunshots, 6 people lay dead with gunshot wounds. The
captured 1,300 people were bound together and pushed down the ground.
They were later on forced into trucks covered with tarpaulins. They were
transported to Pattani military camp, a travel of 120 kilometers from the
protest site. Around midnight, after six hours being inside the truck,
bound and on top of each other, 87 people were found dead. Dr. Pornthip
Rojanasunand, Deputy
Director of the Justice Ministry's Central Institute of Forensic Science
said that 80% died of suffocation, and also convulsion, while others were
crushed to death. "We can't tell for sure if any one blocked their
nostrils or mouths," Dr. Pornthip was quoted saying after the forensic
tests.


As APWLD condemns this inhumane, gross violation of democratic right to
assemble of the Thai people in Narathiwat, APWLD further condemns the
appalling way of how the Thaksin government dealt with the aftermath of
the situation.

In a press conference two days after the massacre, the Government
Spokesman Jakrapob Penkair said that the three main causes of death are
over-exhaustion due to fasting; the influence of unidentified drugs; and
accidents during the crackdown. This was the public statement echoed by
different personalities of the government.

"Many protesters were weak and hungry because they were obeying the holy
Ramadan fast which took toll on their health," said Justice Deputy
Permanent Secretary Manit Suthaporn. The Prime Minister Thaksin
Shinawatra confirmed this, and added "They were exhausted, as they were
protesting under a
scorching sun."

These statements are not only downright dense, but totally atrocious.

The major cause of their death is the people's courage for standing up to
this government for their rights. And this took toll in their lives.

Under the Thaksin government, there are 17 documented people, known as
activists and defenders of human rights, who have been killed or made to
disappear. One of them is Mr. Somchai Neelaphaijit, a Muslim human rights
lawyer who was providing legal assistance to the arrested five Muslim men
accused of having links with the Muslim extremists. Mr. Somchai has not
yet been found after having disappeared earlier this year.

Clearly, the Narathiwat massacre is not an isolated case. This is part of
a pattern of violence - a systematic, programmatic way of silencing
people, of decimating critics and oppositionists. This is a manifestation
of growing fascism of this government. Different ways have been employed
to create fear - from actual killings of rights defenders, to arrests,
and filing of harassment legal cases against activists.

With all of these cases of human rights violations, some of them
documented by its own National Human Rights Commission in its recent
report, the Thaksin government remained unmoved. "If we're soft, they'll
think we're caving in. I won't have it," Thaksin said in an interview.
Who they were he referring to? They who know their rights and are
fighting for them? They who believe that power should reside on the
masses and not on a single business tycoon? They who have long been
struggling for justice and freedom from exclusion and discrimination?

Democracy is indeed a soft word for Thaksin. And, no, he won't have any
of it. A true challenger of due process of law, the Prime Minister said,
"It would not be right to assume every suspect was innocent until proven
guilty."

As the Thai public reeled from the high number of casualty, and the way
they died, Thaksin was proud of his military force. "They did a great
job. They have my praise."

These are chilling statements coming from the head of a country touted to
be the flag bearer of democracy in the region.

While the officials kept repeating that the people didn't die of gunshot
or inflicted wounds, this does not in any way lessen the blood on the
hands of the military, and of the Thaksin government for the death of
protesters from Narathiwat.

APWLD echoes the condemnation of these gross acts of human rights
violation of the Thaksin government. APWLD believes that the martial law
imposed on the South provinces simply provide justification for these
violations, and therefore martial law should be lifted.

APWLD expresses its solidarity with the Thai democracy movements who
stand firm in their fight for their rights; who persevere in fostering
harmonious relationships among peoples of different races, religion and
beliefs; and who continue to struggle for a just, humane and genuinely
democratic Thailand.

APWLD further calls on the global people's movement to demand that the
Thaksin government respect and uphold the human right of every
individual, without regard to gender, class, religion and ethnicity.
