And. The detective on the train. Its good to have you with us one of the most vocal critics of thailands government will now not have a voice in parliament. Hes a leader of the progressive future for what party but now hes been disqualified by the Constitutional Court for violating election law his absence of parliament means one less critic in the chamber of the government. Or the former army chief who came out top in the march election the election that sort of was the 1st in 5 years since the military. Toppled a demagogue. Elected government in 24. My guest later will explain in greater detail how important are not on is in thailand but 1st heres a quick sound bite from an exclusive interview my colleague charlotte conducted with him in june you are facing a lot of legal challenges which she say are politically motivated we believe so do you worry that your days in politics might be numbered. You could stand if you were afraid to do anything for us do we politically at this point of his story. Its pushing the boundaries pushing where they lean meat off possibilities is i believe that it is a power to be mean of ideas domination of ideas. To trade juicing legal charges to trade off while in making some of the leaders of the party these things are real but we arent afraid. On submissive that are driven doctor by my colleague. Bill joining me now in the studio is our political scientist john gerson but on surgery and youre out welcome just speaking. Give us some context who exactly is an opponent and why is he so important in thai politics or in a nutshell is a new generation of politician who cannot be bought off. Political patronage system and hes very ideological or. So he speaks his not afraid of the establishment and was importantly i think the interview showed us that he really believes the idea of democracy and hes really fighting for it so this is unprecedented for type and its interesting you mention hes not afraid of the establishment is that. Make him a target to can tie politics differently. Usually we have the opposition that can be so call negotiated and compromised and because i think that kind of all method has been tried with him didnt work out and so thats why now establishment has restored it we started to believe gore repression and thats why i mean before we seen what weve seen today that hes been tackett it by. The political establishment so hes not going to be in parliament but that doesnt mean that is not going to be in politics but what does his departure from bali meant mean for thai politics well. Of course thai politics is i mean if you were there wasnt a thing is if you want to push through a law or in the right now the partys mission is to change the constitution you have to do that through the parliament so without he being in the parliament that kind of spearheaded the leadership would be missing and i think the establishment kind of believes that the party is to let by tonight on. And i think that would affect the leadership of the party is this a message that these divestment just trying to send to other Political Parties to draw the line. Absolutely but i mean this is not the 1st kiss. Previously we have political leaders of opposition parties being charged and tried but i think more and more that this has become normalized less and less people would feel that that would be effective and they would scared there would be scared of that so i think right now we see these 2 contradictory contradicting images where on the one hand the repression is high on the other people are not afraid we have to leave it there for the time being but thanks so much for coming in late in your estimate on syria type political scientist thank you. Its been called a human rights violation by the un and its easy to see why gold smarted off before their 18th birthday a practice that runs counter to the Un Convention on the rights of the child which today marks its 30th anniversary the convention was supposed to provide protection to children from discrimination by loans and neglect but that Means Nothing to the estimated 12000000. 00 girls around the world who are married off each year before the age of 18 and act which robs them of their education and pushes them into Domestic Violence one filmmaker though is hoping to bring about a change Sharmeen Obaid chinoy is a 2 time oscar winner from pakistan and i did in the yeah she released an animated film on the subject based in 1000 seventies lahore it tells the story of a 14 Year Old Girl who dreams of being a pilot will speak to sharmeen in a minute but here is a quick peek at her film. The fans call and let girls dream and its director Sharmeen Obaid chinoy joins me now from a karachi mr knight good to have you with us on the program what are you hoping to achieve with this film. Its a direct cause t. V. Wanted to start a global conversation about investing in the dreams of young girls today more than 12000000. 00 girls around the unmarried off as child brides and this story of sadar revolves around a younger but i would dreams of becoming a buying it and shes robbed of it the idea by using animation was that we could create something that could going to schools and Community Center and spark discussions between parents and children about why young girls to date in 2001000 stand im able to achieve that they. Had the film is a 2nd part is thought isnt it which i bought a just and continue to happen is the government is taking adequate action to prevent this. You know Child Marriage is a very complicated issue because it happens in so many countries around the world its not too rapidly found just pakistan africa has you know the continent has one of the highest numbers of child brides in the world and child brides are black and in an america which 13 states in america still do not have legislation barring a child rights so we set the tone and pakistan but its a conversation that needs to be had around the well why is it that so many people are still unknowing young girls to get married in pakistan specifically it is because. It is also because of the fact that a lot of families who are poor dont want the responsibility of having a dog when shes diff teen or 16 years which theyd rather marry him of and me as someone elses problem and what we want to talk about is with the film with many of these parents is that you need to start trusting your daughters you cant just want them off to a man when she does 13 or 14 the government of pakistan has been playing an active role there are. Scenes that are being run to talk about china marriage but to be honest legislation is one thing unless there is a change in the mindset off families rather than men especially if they dont see young girls as a budget thats when change will happen and thats always the hardest kind of change to bring isnt it Sharmeen Obaid chinoy pleasured of material thank you so much.
