Thai Peasants’ Movement Stands Firm in the Face of Threats, Seeks Land Reform
SPFT was officially established in 2008 when farmers began occupying the land held illegally by a palm oil company with the aid of the mafia. Over the years, despite assassinations of their activists, threats and intimidation, the peasants have continued their struggle seeking the just distribution of land.
