THAI DRUG USERS WIN PRIZE FOR AIDS WORK
A Canadian human rights organization has awarded a network of Thai
drug users for its work in combating the spread of HIV.
Handing the prize to the Thai Drug Users Network, the director of
Human Rights Watch Canada praised the network for its efforts and
use of peaceful means in alerting the public to the 'heavy-handed
tactics' employed by the Thai government in addressing the Thai
narcotics trade.
While noting that Thailand had won worldwide acclaim for its
success in combating AIDS, he warned that the problem of HIV
infection among drug users had been largely ignored, leading to a
40 percent growth in the rate of HIV infection among intravenous
addicts.
The Thai Drug Users Network was formed two years ago to help
educate drug users nationwide on the importance of protecting
themselves against HIV.
