Not enough attention on #Cambodia despite decades of repression

[amnestypress @amnestypress]

📢The upcoming #election in #Cambodia takes place amidst a human rights crisis. The situation has severely deteriorated, as authorities have spent the past 5 years picking apart what’s left of the rights to freedom of expression, assembly & association

This video brought tears to my eyes to see (and hear!) the solidarity from many countries in Asia and beyond who continue to stand in solidarity with the people of #Myanmar

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

Banging pots and pans was a common protest tactic in Myanmar after the Feb. 1 2021 coup. But two years later, all forms of dissent are risky. On the anniversary, we wanted to make noise for those who can't today.

Seeing such violence during #APEC2022 makes me so sad and upset. #Thailand authorities must avoid unnecessary and disproportionate use of force.

After other officers were attacking journalists, a police officer also went after an unarmed elderly monk during the protest at Din Sor Road.

See how #Thailand is treating protesters as it today and tomorrow hosts #APEC2022 #WhatsHappeningInThailand

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

People have the right to be heard.

#Thailand must work to facilitate, rather than restrict, peaceful protests

[Ming Yu @MsMingYu]

Thai authorities must drop charges under this now non-existent law

[amnestypress @amnestypress]

REMINDER: Thai activists are still facing charges under the now-defunct Emergency Decree.

No decree, no charge.

Agree!

[Amnesty Thailand @AmnestyThailand]

วันนี้ เรามายื่นรายชื่อกว่าสองพันรายชื่อเพื่อเรียกร้องให้รัฐบาลไทยหาแนวทาง “หยุดการนองเลือดในเมียนมา” ในฐานะเจ้าภาพการจัด #APEC2022

As ASEAN leaders meet in Phnom Penh, @amnesty outlines urgent actions needed to address the Myanmar crisis.

Decisions must also be grounded in the views of civil society groups and affected communities. There's no time for further delay.

TODAY: Asean foreign ministers are holding a long-overdue emergency meeting on the crisis in Myanmar since the 2021 coup. So let’s review what they should urgently address. 1/5 👇

@PVamplify @NUGMyanmar 3/3 Amnesty has worked for the human rights of the Myanmar people for over 40 years. We will continue to campaign against the decades of military-led violence. https://t.co/2VxmsJFLsK

#ASEAN: your 5 point plan on Myanmar has failed. Urgent change of approach needed to help end the violence against the people of #Myanmar.

[amnestypress @amnestypress]

As ASEAN marks its 55th anniversary today, Amnesty International urges the regional bloc to acknowledge the failure of its five-point plan published in April 2021 to end the violence and increasing human rights violations in Myanmar.

On 5 June, the first official #BangkokPride parade in 16 years celebrated the diversity of the LGBTQI+ community. But #Thailand's LGBTQI+ people still don't have the right to marry their same sex partner.

@pr_moj: Marriage equality is a human right under international law.

[Ming Yu @MsMingYu]

OUT TODAY: New @amnesty report on war crimes & likely crimes against humanity by the #Myanmar military, with collective punishment of #Karen and #Karenni civilians. UN Security Council must act now in face of repeated military atrocities. For more: https://t.co/emZQZLfiKD

In solidarity...

[amnestypress @amnestypress]

On hunger strike for...

3⃣6⃣ days & counting: Thai activist Tantawan "Tawan" Tuatulanon.

On hunger strike for...

2⃣0⃣ days & counting: Thai activist Sophon "Get" Surariddhidhamrong.

Authorities must respect the right to bail. Retweet or like to show support & solidarity. 1/2

[amnestypress @amnestypress]

The arbitrary charges against #aungsansuukyi continue to represent the farcical trial & the tactics of the military to silence any opposition. She & tens of thousands in #Myanmar who have been unjustly detained for peacefully exercising their rights must be released immediately.

[Gita Sabharwal @SabharwalGita]

Today I heard from #Thailand’s civil society about their concerns on the draft NPO Bill.

My thanks to Disabilities Thailand, NGO Coordinating Committee on Development, and the Community Organization Council for co-hosting. Over 80 attendees!

[Amnesty International Australia 🕯 @amnestyOz]

Compared to the refugees still detained in the Park Hotel for more than a year and 9 years in total, @DjokerNole detention will be a few hours at most.
Since 2013, NZ has offered to resettle refugees. It's time for @ScottMorrisonMP to accept & end this inhumane policy #GameOver

[Ming Yu @MsMingYu]

Today #Thailand's cabinet is scheduled to discuss a draconian draft NGO law. Over 40 Thai & international NGOs urge the authorities to immediately withdraw this bill, which could be used to shut down & suppress civil society.
