WEBVTT 00:00:01.386 --> 00:00:05.092 This is "like". This is "dislike". 00:00:08.178 --> 00:00:16.467 In the 6 years that Thailand's 3 Muslim provinces have been under emergency decree 00:00:16.967 --> 00:00:24.324 countless numbers of people have been affected by the unjust power and control from government officials 00:00:25.042 --> 00:00:30.488 Emergency decree isn't a good law 00:00:30.988 --> 00:00:40.841 Those who were arrested got tortured in order to confess 00:00:41.341 --> 00:00:44.264 That is not right 00:00:44.760 --> 00:00:48.946 Because when being tortured, those who couldn't stand the pain had to admit even though they didn't do anything 00:00:49.168 --> 00:00:52.108 That is not right 00:00:49.168 --> 00:00:59.388 If they really did wrong, there should be evidence and punishment accordingly 00:01:00.388 --> 00:01:03.784 Entering the 8th year of violence in the 3 Muslim provinces, 00:01:04.284 --> 00:01:07.746 many groups and civil society organizations have been established with the objective and determination to see peace once again 00:01:12.626 --> 00:01:17.179 As well as the Civil Society Network Against Emergency Decree 00:01:17.333 --> 00:01:21.751 that has been continuously campaigning against the decree with different activities from releasing statements 00:01:26.610 --> 00:01:30.284 and holding different campaigns like "kicking out" the decree with soccer or 00:01:30.784 --> 00:01:33.438 by driving classical cars and motorbikes, 00:01:33.938 --> 00:01:37.983 to organizing a people's forum against the decree. 00:01:47.796 --> 00:01:50.959 Recently, the activities have been brought up to the international level with the "Post Peace Campaign" 00:01:55.900 --> 00:02:02.187 which allows local people to express their opinions on this emergency decree on postcards 00:02:02.287 --> 00:02:05.465 as reflections of their feelings and make their voices heard among representatives of international organizations. 00:02:12.682 --> 00:02:19.667 Today, we're going to gather the voices of people who want to call for ending the emergency decree 00:02:24.495 --> 00:02:38.258 by writing short messages that we want to express to the United Nations on these postcards 00:02:38.567 --> 00:02:43.157 We'll send all of them to the U.N. Headquarters in Thailand on 10 December which is the Thai Constitution Day and also International Human Rights Day 00:02:50.305 --> 00:02:52.200 The campaign to express people's feelings on postcards 00:02:52.700 --> 00:02:55.812 has received good response from local people, 00:02:56.312 --> 00:02:59.019 especially those working in city area of Pattani which faced the effects of the decree more. 00:03:02.939 --> 00:03:09.177 I hope the situation will be normal soon so I can work more conveniently 00:03:09.631 --> 00:03:18.554 When going to pray or elsewhere in the early morning, I don't need to worry that I'll be searched by the army or arrested for investigation 00:03:19.054 --> 00:03:23.550 I think there must be a campaign against the emergency decree 00:03:25.997 --> 00:03:30.350 This emergency decree has been enforced for a long while 00:03:30.850 --> 00:03:40.965 and its enforcement has violated the basic rights of the local people 00:03:41.465 --> 00:03:46.531 We no longer agree with the emergency decree's enforcement in our areas 00:03:47.531 --> 00:03:55.224 If it's still necessary to use the emergency decree then there must be justice 00:03:55.724 --> 00:03:58.061 If there's no justice, then it should be repealed 00:04:00.810 --> 00:04:05.532 The movement of the Civil Society Network Against Emergency Decree doesn't only aim to have the decree repealed, 00:04:09.647 --> 00:04:13.986 but also to reduce the conditions that could lead to endless violence. 00:04:17.781 --> 00:04:21.877 Time has proven that the emergency decree couldn't reduce the number of incidents 00:04:22.277 --> 00:04:25.966 And it even creates hatred among the people who were affected by the unjust power and control of officers 00:04:29.721 --> 00:04:35.547 Therefore, should the New Years present that the current government of Ms. Yingluck Chinnawatra 00:04:38.624 --> 00:04:45.923 give to people who oppose the emergency decree in the 3 Muslim provinces on this coming 19 December be the repeal of the emergency decree? 00:04:51.706 --> 00:04:52.635 We oppose the emergency decree! 00:04:53.135 --> 00:04:55.400 We oppose the emergency decree! 00:04:55.900 --> 00:04:57.721 We oppose the emergency decree!
