Dr. Ban Ki-moon
The United Nations General SecretaryUN Headquarters, First

Your Excellency:
Unfortunately despite noble efforts by organizations under the
United Nations, violence andviolations of human rights, including
the Gwangju massacre during May 18-27, 1980, haverepeatedly
occurred and are still happening within member countries of the
United Nations.Appreciating the need for peace and justice upheld
by the United Nations, we, the undersignedThai citizens, wish to
inform and remind your Excellency of the recent brutal violations
of humanrights that have happened in Thailand during April 2009 and
April-May, 2010, which werediscussed widely around the globe and
condemned officially by the European Council immediatelyafter the
tragedy. We, consequently, would like to urge you to look into the
cases and demandappropriate actions by the concerned organizations
under the United Nations and your authority.
It is clearly evident that the political turmoil and subsequent
violent, brutal, and unlawful acts bythe royal Thai government
against politically active, democratic, and peaceful Thai citizens
haveoccurred after the undemocratic 2006 coup dtat. Video clips of
the Royal Thai Army shootingand killing hundreds of armless
protestors and foreign news reporters and injuring thousands
ofinnocent Thais mushroomed the Internet, and many Thais even
voiced their concerns before themassacres of April 2009 and
April/May 2010 to the world and to the United Nations, but sadly
tovirtually no avail. Acts of violation of the human rights in
Thailand are clearly evident, highlysuppressive, and totally
unacceptable in todays world standards or any standard. These
actsinclude unconstitutionally imprisoning and murdering
red-shirted protestors, using governmentalresources to threaten
politically active citizens, discriminating against red-shirted
citizens whenthe tyrannical Abhisit administration allocated
budgets to provinces in Thailand, and shamelesslycorrupting and
stealing from the peoples tax monies. The list goes on, and we
believe that yourExcellency must have been informed somewhat.
Should you need specific details regarding theoppressive and
brutally violent acts by the Thai government and the Royal Thai
Army, you caneasily contact red-shirted core leaders, who have
still been jailed while the murderous PM andofficial in charge are,
, ironically, living freely and trying to project themselves as
legitimate,lawful, and innocent agents. You can also ask Thai
citizens on streets, check Youtube videos, andcontact the
opposition leaders to learn about what the royal Thai government
has neverreported.
In short, we believe that acts of human rights violation have
taken place in Thailand, and wewould like you to look into the
aforementioned cases by allowing the voices of red-shirtedcitizens,
opposition leaders, victims of the oppressive acts, and all
concerned agencies to beheard against the fabricated reports by the
tyrannical government under the administration ofMr. Abhisit
Vejjajiva, the PM that never once won a majority votes in the
history of elections in
Thailand. Thailand was once a model for democracy and emerging
economy for developingcountries; therefore, if Thailand is allowed
to be as doomed as it is now, the UN is not properlydoing its
duties. We are urging you to take the necessary actions to stop the
oppression and allkinds of human rights violations in Thailand
before a civil war takes place in this Land of Smilesas many have
feared.
Respectfully Yours,
