An announcement condemning the President of the World Bank
rejecting to accept the letter from the villagers affected by Pak Mun Dam
The President of the World Bank, Mr. James Wolfenson attended the
10th UNCTAD rejected to accept the letter from the villagers who have
been affected by Pak Mun Dam on Feb 16. Mr. Wolfenson said the
villagers have good livings and people who were submitting the letter
love to make chaos. Also, he said the World Bank in Thailand is
taking care of this issue.
As the villagers who have been affected by Pak Mun Dam's
construction, we refuse to accept Mr. Wolfenson's announcement
because the fact is being distorted which Mr. Wolfenson claimed the
information from the report of Operations Evaluation Department
pro-dam and using the information from Mr. Shivakumar, the Director
of Thai World Bank. What he said about the villagers misleading the
public to misunderstand us.
We, the villagers are condemning Mr. Wolfenson's action.
We, the villagers are announcing that the World Bank needs to take
responsibilities as follows:
1. Take responsibility for the destruction you have caused to
our lives and to the ecology and fisheries of the Mun River,
acknowledge your mistakes and respect our demands.
2. Work with the Thai government to decommission Pak Mun and
restore the Mun River, and
Restore the Mun River! Remove the dams!
