Thread: NHRC warns activists are being monitored

LOCAL OPPONENTS to the opening of a new potash mine in Sakon Nakhon’s Wanon Niwat District were being monitored by the police and military, while many people were sued for their actions to protect the local environment, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) says.

The NHRC says the actions were common throughout the region, and urged the government to change their stance on local activism and assure public participation for the sustainable development of the region.

NHRC and Amnesty International Thailand on Wednesday led a media tour of the potash exploration site in Wanon Niwat District, as they said it was a vivid example of the freedom of expression and communal rights violations in North Eastern Region.

Are the floods being taken to court by the junta for their obstructive actions?
