Background:
1. SR Stavenhagen files a "Letter of Allegation" with the Thai Government about the Queen taking the land of Hooh Yoh Akha.
2. The Thai Government files a response, denying the allegations. This response was received in 2008 after SR Stavenhagen had left the position and SR James Anaya had taken over.
3. SR Anaya makes no attempt to contact us regarding the communication. We don't find out about it till 2010.
4. We file a response to the Thai denials in the summer of 2010, delivered to SR James Anaya's office. His staff say they never received it even though we sent it twice and finally a third time.
5. We receive a letter from SR Anaya saying he really can't tell us anything about the case blah blah blah.
6. We publish an article on the sad state of affairs regarding this very important case and how it has been handled.

At meeting below apparently no mention is made of this very important land case nor is there any evidence that SR Anaya attempted to assist the Akha on the matter.

At the 2008 UNPFII the Indigenous are increasingly ignored by the Chair Corpuz until there is an outbreak of yelling and a confrontation in the Forum, an attempt to remove speakers by force by UN security, and a demonstration outside the Forum.
