The Patani United Liberation Organisation (PULO) is a separatist group based in the southern region of Thailand, particularly in the provinces of Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat. Founded in 1975, PULO seeks greater autonomy or independence for the Malay Muslim population in this area, which has a distinct cultural and historical identity. PULO has been involved in an ongoing conflict with the Thai government, advocating for the rights and self-determination of the local people. The organization has engaged in various forms of activism, including political dialogue and armed resistance, as part of its efforts to achieve its goals.
