As people struggle to hold onto their land, livelihoods and basic human rights, NGO's and students are speaking out in protest. People all over Thailand are resisting the government in many different ways. From students staging actions, to NGO's fighting through the judicial systems, it is clear that people are aware of how dishonestly they are being treated by their government.
We spoke to Decha Premrudeelert, a community organizer in Northeast Thailand, a long-term mentor of ENGAGE and former leader of NGO-Coordinating Committee on Rural Development (CORD), Sasiprapa Raisanguan, a Law student and activist at Khon Kaen University and Suwit Gularpwong, the current chairperson of NGO-CORD.
These activists shared with us the passion they have for human rights, the government's current relationship with large corporations and what needs to be done to fight the injustices that the people in Na Nong Bong struggle with everyday.
