Failure of Thai judicial system! A right to a fair trial should be guaranteed. Freedom of speech &FoE shouldn’t be criminalized. #saveเพนกวิน

#ม็อบ21ตุลา PM Prayuth suggested yesterday everyone take a step back in conflict. Then Mind, one of protest leaders, was arrested last night after a peaceful protest. Don’t just talk the talk but walk the walk!

[Patpicha Best 🧣 @patpichatan]

Mind, one of the Thai protest leaders, was arrested at a cafe after she gave a three-day deadline for PM Prayuth Chan-ocha to resign.

I took this shot of her for @Reuters as she thanked reporters, just two hours before her arrest. #ม็อบ21ตุลา #WhatsHappeninginThailand

#ຖ້າການເມືອງລາວດີ Very thrilled to see Twitterhashtag in Lao’what if Lao politics were better’.People call out on enforced disappearance, disaster mismanagement, corruption, inequality,harassment of HRDs,dam,etc. Spill over effect of democratic movement from Thailand.

#ม็อบ19ตุลา Stop harassing the free media!!

[Former UN Special Rapporteur FoAA rights @cvoule]

I continue to follow closely the situation in Thailand. I reiterate my call to Thai authorities to refrain from using force against peaceful protesters. Peaceful protest is not a crime but a democratic means for people to express their grievances and demands.

[Mary Lawlor @MaryLawlorhrds]

I’m alarmed by reports this week from #Thailand of arrests & detentions & the use of draconian criminal charges against Human Rights Defenders exercising their rights to assemble peacefully & to express their views

[Former UN Special Rapporteur FoAA rights @cvoule]

I’m very worried about the information on crackdown on protesters in #Thailand.The “severe state of emergency”declared &the arrests in Bangkok are stifling freedom of assembly. The government needs to allow protesters to exercise their rights & seek dialogue, not suppress them.”

[jum @raweekoon]

Today at the democracy momument young people in Thailand demands for the structural and systemic change. Authoritarian cannot stop the wind of change!!

[Saksith Saiyasombut | ศักดิ์สิทธิ์ ไสยสมบัติ @SaksithCNA]

While #lesemajeste has been used less in recent years to stifle dissent, the Computer Crimes Act and libel laws are handy tools for the authorities to crackdown on criticism perceived as anti-royal. Nevertheless, netizens have been unprecedentedly more outspoken as well recently.
