This is from the Bangkok Post (english language newspaper) Thailand: US Official Declares War On Drugs A Success (27 Nov 2003) Bangkok Post Thailand A senior US drug official yesterday hailed Thailand's war against drugs as a success. William J. Snipes, the regional director of the US Drug Enforcement Administration, said the war on drugs has been effective. ``Whether that's a lasting effect, we'll have to wait and see. Temporarily, we look at it as successful,'' he said. Thailand had the will to eradicate drugs, but as evidenced in the United States it was a problem that might never disappear altogether. He was speaking at the Bang Pa-In industrial estate where seized drugs worth about 2.9 billion baht were incinerated, including 19 million methamphetamine pills, marijuana, heroin, ketamine liquid and ecstasy pills. The government began a violent crackdown on drugs in February and plans to announce the country drug free ahead of the King's birthday on Dec 5.

"A SUCCESS"? "ERADICATION"?? .. MORE LIKE EXECUTIONS AND MURDER! The Government in Thailand has declared its three-month campaign to stop the sale and use of illegal drugs "a success". The Prime Minister claims that, as a result of the crackdown which he initiated, 90% of the problem has been eradicated and all drugs will be eradicated by the end of the year. People who deal or use drugs will, in the Prime Minister's words, " be put behind bars or may even vanish without a trace - who cares? They are destroying our country." THE TRUE RESULT OF THAILAND'S "WAR ON DRUGS" Close to 3000 PEOPLE HAVE DIED through police operating a "shoot to kill' policy against suspected dealers The high death toll has provoked international concern A further 50,000 people have been arrested DEPLORABLE HEALTH CONDITIONS / HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS HIV & hepatitis epidemics out of control Public health response negligible Lack of information on prevention and safety Denial of care and treatment to people who use drugs Very few needle exchanges Scant, poor, low-dose methadone programmes The methods used by the police, with the government support are unique: "Dealers will be given the chance to be 'converted' and addicts weaned off their habits."

DdC	Drug War Creates Mass Death of the Akha (Thailand)	#1	[url]	[-]
Posts: 1268 07/28/08 23:10:12	The US Drug War Creates Mass Death of the Akha (Thailand) From Disease and Starvation. Death Rate As High as 20% in Some Villages. Forced Relocations, No Land, No Food, No Jobs. Data Supported by Independent International Reports. Use Google to Search This Site. There Are Hundreds of Drug War Articles in News Pics: 1. An Akha woman with a baby who has had fever several days. 10 children died in this village of fever or intestinal upset in the last year. Most children in these villages are not protected by mosquito nets. 2. Now with little land and no income, food for children is scarce. Milk is unheard of. 3. Many children are sick. 4. Severe poverty haunts villagers after the David J. Wise Drug War. US DRUG WAR DEATH PICS - Killings Paid For With YOUR Tax Dollars Official UN Filing UNOHCHR, Geneva - Detailed Case Accounts of the Killings The US Drug War is the only governmental policy of ANY country that directly results in the death of Akha people. Up to 20% of some villages died as a direct result of the US drug war. The US Drug War has a violent effect on Akha communities that goes beyond just police prosecution of would be offenders. Military and police violence against the Akha has been a standard event in Thailand. Extra-judicial killings and killings for no reason are what the Akha expect. The US Drug War has served the Thais well as a convenient cover for these acts that go back thirty years. A clean line between hill tribe drug running and police-army drug running has never been made. Documenting corpses first hand, or beaten prisoners, illustrates the level of brutality against the Akha in Thailand by Thai police and army. The effects of this brutality is that these security forces can get away with many other acts, and it aids Forestry in taking away the rice lands. The Akha become afraid to speak out. Enforcement in this way increases prostitution and trafficking in persons. The criminalization of drugs in the Akha region, a place that Americans aggressively exported drugs FROM, has the effect of ethnic cleansing, giving the local authorities every excuse to "please America" and at the same time do what they want to the locals. If the same aggressive methods were used in Bangkok among Thais, the country would need several more prisons to hold all the people and the whole issue would get true scrutiny. Bush Should See the Human Cost of his Drug War in Asia Akha Dying Like Flies in Laos David J. Wise, Robert Gelbard - "Architects of Death" for the Akha of Laos While Americans live in relatives security, with refrigerators full, individuals in the US Government set policies in motion around the world which bring about the deaths of thousands of people, their only fault being that they are not on America's "protected specie" list. If you have information to add to the situation on the Akha in Laos please contact us. David J. Wise - Architect of Death for the Akha in Laos Search David Wise - Some Material The US Govt. is not elected to run the governments of any of these countries, so it is a mystery how the US can come in and set up policies that kill people who never voted for them?
