Description

In Thailand, the Khlong Sai Pattana – a community largely sustained by women farmers – will receive a court verdict on July 15, determining whether they will be evicted from their land, and lose their homes and livelihoods. The Southern Peasants Federation of Thailand is fighting against the possible eviction - and already, four members of the federation, two women and two men, have been murdered and one injured - in order to terrify the farmers into leaving. Our guest is “Bee” Pranom Somwong, who works with the Southern Peasants Federation of Thailand.
