Detectives. Well. Its good to have you with us one of the most vocal critics of government will now not have a voice in parliament. Of the progressive future forward but now hes been disqualified by the Constitutional Court for violating election lol his absence of parliament means one less critic of the government of. The former army chief who came out top in the march election. Was the 1st in 5 years since the military. Toppled a do. Elected government in 24. My guest later will explain in greater detail how important undertone is in thailand but 1st heres a quick sound bite from an exclusive interview my colleague charlotte conducted with him in june. Facing a lot of legal challenges would she say a politically motivated we believe so do you worry that your days in politics might be the best. You could to understand 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 he is a power to be mean of ideas domination of ideas that comes to trade using legal charges to trade off while ends make in some of the leaders of the party these things are real but we arent afraid. And submissive that are driven doctor by my colleague. Bill joining me now in the studio is tired political scientist john giraffe from the survey and youre out welcome just speaking. Give us some context here who exactly is an opponent why is he so important in thai politics or in a nutshell its a new generation of politician who cannot be bought off. Political patronage system and hes very ideological. So hes. Not afraid of the establishment and was importantly i think the interview showed 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. Make him a target to in thai politics definitely. Usually we have to opposition that can be so call nicosia turban compromised and because i think that kind of has been tried with him didnt work and so thats why now establishment has resorted to legal 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 hes 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 was a simple 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 a thats for 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 the left by tonight on. And i think that would effect the leadership of the party is this a message that these debates been destroying to send to other Political Parties to draw the line. Absolutely but i mean this is not the 1st kid. 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 scare there would be scare of that so i think right now we see these 2 contradicting 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 later years from a bunch of your 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 mots its 30th anniversary the convention was supposed to provide protection to children from discrimination by lens 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 sure hes 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 he has a quick peek at her film. The fans call and let girls dream and its director Sharmeen Obaid chinoy joins me now from a crowd Service Tonight good to have you with us on the program what are you hoping to achieve with this film. Well. Darla because we wanted to start a global conversation about investing in the dreams of young to do it 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 pilot and shes drugged the idea by using animation was that we could create something that could going to schools and Community Center and spark discussions between pattinson sure about why young guns 2 days in 2001000 stand im able to achieve that. The film is 2nd bottas thought isnt it where choice about it just to continue to happen is the governments 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 focused on africa has you know the continent has one of the highest numbers of child brides in the well child brides are. In an america which could teen states in america stand to not have legislation barring a child rights so we set the tone in pakistan but its a conversation that needs to be had around. 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 make 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. Beings 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 of families right men especially they dont see young girls as a budget thats when change will happen and thats one of the hardest kind of change to bring isnt it Sharmeen Obaid chinoy present over there oh thank you so much.
