The brutality of the military dictatorships in Myanmar and Thailand have continued with further arrests, use of water cannon and live ammunition in the streets.

An international solidarity campaign has started against the militarisation of these two countries, with activists from Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Finland and Germany. That International Solidarity campaign hosted a Public Meeting with speakers from right across the region to talk about what is happening in Thailand and Myanmar, and on today’s program of Accent of Women, we bring you two of those speeches.
