Presentation during MAC was awarded the Best Organization in Human Rights Protection 2008 from the National Human Rights Commission of Thailand. In addition, MAC was nominated for the 2008 French Republic Human Rights Prize by the Embassy of France in Thailand.
About the Organization
The Muslim Attorney Center (MAC) was founded by a group of Muslim lawyers in 2004 led by Mr. Somchai Neelapaijit, a victim of forced disappearance who went missing later that year. MAC has been assisting Muslims in the three southernmost provinces since February 2007, providing free legal aid to those affected by special laws such as the Emergency Decree and martial law, which are in force throughout the conflict areas.
