1. For decades, Thailand was once known as a safe haven for dissidents fleeing repression. That all changed after the 2014 military coup. I spent months consulting with @hrw to investigate how the former Prayut regime has targeted foreign dissidents on Thai soil with impunity.

As #COVID ー19 spreads rapidly in #Thailand , people living in informal settings are more at risk. Slum residents cannot simply stop working, social distancing is unrealistic, and living in densely populated zones raises probability of transmission. Latest:

Prominent activist, Sirawith "Janew" Serithiwat, has taken stage. Last year he was brutally attacked by masked men for his anti-government activism. He has been mostly silent since the incidents. But now it looks like he's back. #19 กันยาทวงอํานาจคืนราษฏร

In Thailand's deep south, a forgotten conflict still simmers. Torture has devastated communities. But one woman hopes to end the violence by documenting the abuse and offering hope in its place. My latest for @guardian . Stunning photos by @LukeDuggleby .

I looked into how the death of a drug suspect is reigniting suspicions that the military has a systemic problem with abuse. Cases like these have led many to believe their use of excessive violence originates inside their own toxic training programmes.

Thai parliament passed a draft bill today on the Prevention and Suppression of Torture and Enforced Disappearances. If formally introduced, it may bring perpetrators to justice, stand as a deterrent to violence, and begin to deconstruct a long entrenched culture of impunity.
