ASEAN parliamentarian group calls for end to judicial harassment of Thai politicians

13 Sept 11:00 Key points summarised by AI

APHR urges Thai authorities to cease judicial harassment of Future Forward party leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit and other anti-military figures, viewing charges as politically motivated attempts to undermine opposition.
The group highlights concerns that Thailand's military junta employs repressive laws, including sedition and the Computer Crimes Act, to silence critics, with cases often tried in military courts that lack international fairness standards.
Regional lawmakers stress the critical importance of protecting parliamentarians to ensure they can freely uphold human rights without fear of reprisal, threats, or criminal charges.

Myanmar's detained Nobel laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, received a package from Britain's King Charles III, which included two gardening books, a sealed envelope, and diplomatic communication.
The event marked the first release of images of Suu Kyi in two months and saw Myanmar authorities describe her as a "special female prisoner" for the first time.
Suu Kyi, who was deposed in a 2021 military coup that triggered an ongoing civil war, remains under house arrest on charges that rights groups contend are politically motivated.
