What can we do

We are not in Thailand and cannot directly influence events there. But we can help educate New Zealanders about what is happening there and, equally important, we can work bloody hard to ensure that New Zealand ceases condoning the actions of the military dictatorship through our government's stated support for them.

This is why the organisation, "Friends of Thailand" has been set up, initially in Wellington. Our "slogans" are Oppose the Military Dictatorship and Support the Thai People, we intend to write articles for newspapers and magazines, distributed leaflets, posters and other educational material and organise various actions (see advertisement on this page) which publicise the cause of the Thai people. We are a committee of 15 - 20 people, comprising students, public servants, workers and others. Both Asian and New Zealand people are working in Friends of Thailand.
