Self-proclaimed Barisan Revolusi Nasional-Coordinate "liaison" officer, Hasan Taib, made a public statement through a video broadcast, demanding that Thailand unconditionally release all prisoners locked up on insurgency-related charges, and permit Orga
Hasan also demanded that the role of the Malaysian government be upgraded from “facilitator” to “mediator”.
He added that all pending charges against alleged separatists must be drop and that the Thai government, which he referred to as “Siamese colonialists”, must acknowledge that BRN is a “liberation movement”, not a “separatist movement”.
“Everything he said derail the term of reference that Thailand had put in place when they signed the agreement to talk on February 28, 2013,” said Human Rights Watch’s Sunai Phasuk.
