Army under fire for South report saga

Some 66 local and international human rights groups have called on the army to withdraw legal action against three human rights defenders for their report on torture.

The human rights advocates are Pornpen Khongkachonkiet, Anchana Heemmina and Somchai Homlaor.

The army has brought defamation charges against them under the Criminal Code and the Computer Crimes Act for their report on torture and ill-treatment in the far South by soldiers during 2014-2015.
