THAILAND • DROP CHARGES AGAINST CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR NETIWIT CHOTIPHATPHAISAL

«I reject the idea that peace must come through violence, that obedience is more important than conscience. Militaristic values permeate Thai society ⸻ not only in the barracks, but in our classrooms, in our politics, in how young people are taught to think and express themselves. These values make true education, democracy, and freedom of expression difficult to achieve. To object is to resist that mindset. It is to say: our lives should not be tools of war, our minds not moulded by fear.»
