🇹🇭 #Thailand | @ICJ_Asia calls on #Thai authorities to ensure that any anti-SLAPP law provides effective protection against abusive lawsuits, regardless of whether they are brought through criminal or civil proceedings.
At a panel discussion at the Parliament on 27 August, co-hosted by @ICJ_Asia, the Rights and Liberties Protection Department (@PRRLPD) and the House of Representatives’ Committee on Political Development, Mass Communications and Public Participation, speakers examined three legislative proposals to counter #SLAPPs.
The ICJ urges the authorities to ensure that any law adopted covers all forms of SLAPPs, enables their early dismissal and provides effective remedies for those targeted.

🇹🇭 #Thailand | In August-September, @ICJ_Asia, together with Thailand’s Court of Justice and @OHCHRAsia, and with the support of @EUinThailand, brought 104 judges together in four regional dialogues.
The dialogues served as a platform for judges to discuss implementing Thailand’s Anti-Torture and Enforced Disappearance Act in line with international law and standards.
Discussions examined the distinct role of courts in:
🔷 preventing torture and enforced disappearance
🔷 ensuring accountability, including through the assessment of evidence, exclusion of coerced confessions and meaningful searches for disappeared persons

DRF’s Legal Lead, Aqsa Javed, was part of these discussions in Bangkok, which covered internet shutdowns, digital safety, implementation gaps, data protection, content moderation and accountability. Strong principles require strong implementation, shaped by regional realities.
📌 On 15 September, the @ICJ_org and the Danish Institute for Human Rights, with support from the Digital Democracy Initiative, convened a meeting in Bangkok to preview the draft Copenhagen Principles and Guidance for the Protection of Human Rights in the Digital Sphere.
The Principles comprise 5 chapters and 32 articles, clarifying how international human rights, humanitarian and criminal law apply in the digital sphere, including during armed conflict.
More than 35 participants from civil society and the private sector, as well as members of UN Special Procedures and the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR), discussed regional challenges including internet shutdowns, data localisation, content moderation, information warfare and accountability gaps, and recommendations for implementation.

[Joint Statement] The @ICJ_Asia, together with 14 other civil society organisations, call for the immediate release of Pakistani human rights lawyers Imaan Mazari-Hazir and Hadi Chattha.
Their continued detention, despite the Supreme Court’s order granting bail raises serious concerns for due process and the independence of lawyers.
As a State Party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), Pakistan must uphold its international human rights obligations, including protections against arbitrary detention and guarantees of fair trial rights.
