context_page_description: The Barisan Revolusi Nasional Melayu Patani, also known by the shorter form Barisan Revolusi Nasional, meaning "National Revolutionary Front", is an Islamist Patani independence movement in northern Malaysia and Patani, southern Thailand. As of 2017, it is the most powerful rebel group in the region.
  Originally the BRN was established as a roughly territorial organisation, prioritizing Pattani secessionism. Since 2001, however, the BRN-C has become its most active wing, leading the south Thailand insurgency and imposing extreme religious values on the local society.
  The BRN-C, through its "Pejuang Kemerdekaan Patani" paramilitary wing, is the main group behind the murder of teachers in the Southern Border Provinces.
