Prachatai 10th anniversary: celebration on 30th Jan 2015

Prachatai on Friday celebrated, under martial law, its 10th anniversary as a non-profit alternative online media in Thailand. About 60 guests joined the event to celebrate its 10th anniversary on Friday night. The event was by invitation only and kept secret until Friday night for fear that the junta’s National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) would force the cancellation of the event.

Since 2007, Prachatai English has been covering underreported issues in Thailand, especially about democratization and human rights, despite the risk and pressure from the law and the authorities. However, with only 2 full-time reporters and increasing annual operating costs, keeping our work going is a challenge. Your support will ensure we stay a professional media source and be able to expand our team to meet the challenges and deliver timely and in-depth reporting.
