What clueless Kan Jompalang is ignoring is the Thai military themselves have criminalized civilians buying or possessing body armor, which the Army considers to be an illegal weapon by civilians. Just ask foreign journalists - who need such equipment to cover conflicts - at the @FCCThai what happens if they are found possessing such equipment. So Kan Jompalang is encouraging his supporters to violate the law. If he wants to donate such items, he should persuade the Thai military to change the law on civilian possession of body armor. @PPLEThai @RangsimanRome

EFE News Agency joins the initiative called by
@RSF_inter to denounce the "massacre" of journalists in Gaza and demand international press access to the strip.

More than 200 journalists have been killed by the Israeli army in Gaza in just 10 months.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

These are the names of 274 Palestinian journalists in Gaza killed by Israel since October 7, 2023. It’s the deadliest war for media workers in history.

La Agencia EFE se suma a la iniciativa convocada por @RSF_inter para denunciar "la matanza" de periodistas en Gaza y exigir el acceso de la prensa internacional a la Franja.

Más de 200 periodistas han sido asesinados por el ejército israelí en este enclave en solo 10 meses.

Freedom House downgraded Thailand’s ranking from “partly free” to “not free,” placing it alongside China.

The nonprofit organization, based in Washington, D.C., stated that Thailand’s status worsened because the Constitutional Court dissolved the leading opposition party and authorities repatriated activists, refugees, and asylum seekers to countries where they faced harm.

After five years of direct military rule, Thailand transitioned to a military-dominated, semi-elected government in 2019. Protests for further democratic reform in 2020 and 2021 led to repressive tactics, including arbitrary arrests, intimidation, lèse-majesté charges, and harassment.

While the 2023 elections were relatively open, the military-appointed Senate blocked the Move Forward Party from forming a government and later dissolved it. The second-largest opposition group, the Pheu Thai Party (PTP), joined a coalition government with military-aligned parties. However, its initial prime minister was removed by the Constitutional Court over an ethics violation, showing the ongoing power of unelected institutions.

Press freedom is limited, due process is uncertain, and crimes against activists go unpunished.

1/ Sad to confirm that I was denied re-entry to #Cambodia on Jan. 5 and, a month later, it's no clearer as to whether I can return, but it does seem to be retaliation for my journalistic work...
