Destination Justice Director Doreen Chen has co-authored an op-ed with Asia Centre Regional Director James Gomez in today’s Bangkok Post on the international legality of Thai protesters’ bail conditions.
The op-ed discusses how in recent months, Thai authorities have shifted their approach to where pro-democracy protesters (formerly detained for protesting) are now largely being released on strict bail conditions to await trial. However, both detention and the current bail conditions fall short of international human rights law standards, in particular Thailand’s treaty obligations under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
