"Mr President, in October 2015 we highlighted the difficult political situation in Thailand, where a military junta took power after the coup of May 2014. At present there is no way to foresee a full transition back to a civilian government. On the contrary, the Thai military junta has adopted arbitrary and even more restrictive measures to disrupt the lives of everyone opposing the regime. Arrests and intimidation are frequent in order to control the population and reduce or eliminate citizens’ freedom of expression. Among them, Andy Hall, who has always been a defender of workers’ rights and a committed activist, has been falsely accused of defamation and now faces a three-year prison sentence. We ask for immediate withdrawal of this allegation, and stress the regime should change its attitude to its citizens and to fundamental freedoms. For these reasons, we think it is essential for the Commission and the European External Action Service to take action on the issue."@it2
