Many people have heard the saying that

“We all learn from history.”

But if some histories were untaught and distorted the facts.
 

How can we trust the truths we have learned?

Is that the cause of deliberate repetition of tragedies by history writers themselves?
 

Torture has been found in historical evidence since the Middle Ages era.

Although there were sociolinguistics, sciences, arts, and education during that time, the Middle Ages was still considereda dark age in history. Appears in the evidence, whether paintings or letters, such as "Proving innocence by water", "Twice suffering like Jesus (Germany) holding the water and crucifixion hanging upside down", "Filling water into the mouth" , "buried alive", etc.and the Middle Ages is also an era of human discovery and transformation. It's an era where humans learn right and wrong.

It's an intellectual discovery.
 

However,the development of the human mind does not go along with the civilization of the outer shell. Although there are many developed countries brave enough to accept sincere apologies, put it into a teaching curriculum or even build a museum forthe new generation to learn and to prevent the history of degrading human dignity from repeating itself again.But there are still some countries that still do not accept it,not even packed in the teaching curriculum.
 

“Growing up as a person who was believing and being overwhelmed by a single set of data and then getting to know the facts after growing up. It is like being betrayed from what I once believed or held.”
 

Based on my own recent experience of traveling almost across the country and having the opportunity to collaborate with local people.The truth begins to appear from hearsay or material evidence. This is clear proof that I and many other people in the country have never been taught about the history of how the government treats its people.Just because of the suspicion of being a threat to the public sectors.

 

Some people may think it's a distant matter.

Some people may ask why to resuscitate past misdeeds,but due to the fact that ;

Torture and enforced disappearances still exist today. Governing structures which are not based on justice,anyone could be a victim of wrongdoing.
 

Just because you don't know something ,doesn't mean it's not true.
 

This set of photographs was inspired by : News and Facts of “Torture and enforced disappearances” in Thailand which are human rights violations.
