Saturday 19 September was the 9th anniversary of the 2006 military coup and hundreds of human rights activists held a forum to discuss this event and then marched to the nearby Democracy Monument. This event coincided with the 54th birthday of independent journalist and labour activist Somyot Pruksakasemsuk who is still languishing in jail convicted under the repressive Lese Majeste law. The military junta is continuing to stifle internal debate and reporting while at the same time using force to evict farmers in order to create new economic zones.
Abolish Article 112!
