Student Federation urges govt to witdraw troops from deep South

The Student Federation of Thailand (SFT) has called on the government to withdraw troops from the restive South, revoke the emergency degree and opt for peace talks to solve the insurgency in the region.

 

The SFT in association with the Community Potential Foundation on Thursday held a seminar entitled “Marohso Chantarawade and Comrades: Siam rebels or Pattani hero warriors?”
Wattana Wan, representative of the Turn Left Organisation, said the clash on February 13 in Narathiwat, which left 16 insurgents dead with no casualties among security officials, has sparked local hatred against state officials and caused many people to join the insurgency.
