The issue of mediation or facilitation should be put off for the time being, the BRN said. The selection and role of the mediator, if any, should be agreed by the two sides. BRN members said they could not understand why the government of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawtra had pushed for the February 28 meeting knowing that the two sides have yet to reach an understanding on a number of issues such as immunity for members of the BRN political wing who would come to the table, and a guarantee from Malaysia that they would not be deported.
