For over 20 years, Phichit villagers have sought justice for the harms they suffered in relation to the activities of the Chatree Gold Mine in Central Thailand.
Every step of the way, Thai authorities were bowing down to the 1% elite - granting licences, approving expansion while ignoring villagers’ call for justice - putting profit over people.
Despite risks, including SLAPP cases, villagers never stop fighting for what is right - for their rights - petitioning authorities, demonstrating and filing complaints.
Read through the images below to see how Thailand has merely done NOTHING to protect the lives of Phichit villagers!
Since Thailand has failed to abide by its duty, both international and constitutional obligations, Manushya jointly with the Phichit community filed a UN Complaint on 19 July 2024 to demand corporate accountability and fair remedy.
📣 Scan the QR code below or access this link to read our full UN Complaint and the UN Communication issued by UN Experts on 14 January 2025 holding Akara, Kingsgate, Thailand, Australia, and implicated companies accountable.
UN Experts expressed ‘deep concern about the allegations of human rights abuses related to the operations of Akara. [...] and the prolonged lack of access to effective remedy for those adversely affected by the operations of the mine.’

On 14 March 2025 Akara and Kingsgate issued their replies to the UN Communication, distorting the truth. Stay tuned for the upcoming release of our new fact-checking report, defending the truth and exposing all companies’ falsehoods!
As Decolonial Intersectional Feminists, we at Manushya Foundation have long been supporting the Phichit community in their fight against corporate impunity, ensuring their voices are heard, and justice is given!
Help us raise the voices of Phichit villagers. Together, let’s demand truth, accountability, and #JusticeForPhichit.
