#HumanRightsDay #ConstitutionDay: Dignity, Freedom, and Justice for All!



(TH below)

#HumanRightsDay🖋🌍 #ConstitutionDay 📜 Dignity, Freedom, and Justice for All!


Every year on 10 December, the world celebrates Human Rights Day, and Thailand commemorates the adoption of its first Constitution, which transformed the country from an absolute monarchy into a constitutional monarchy.


#ConstitutionDay 🗓🔓 Worryingly, after 90 years and 20 different constitutions, true democracy still has not been realized in Thailand. Instead, the rights of people who stand up for equality, freedom, and a more democratic constitution are often violated.


Let’s take a look at notable instances in the past year where the Thai justice system has failed to protect the rights of its citizens as laid down in the Constitution âĪĩïļ


ðŸšŦ After 2 years, 6 protests leaders are indicted on a sedition charge for staging a demonstration at Thammasat University in August 2020, including Arnon Nampa who called for the drafting of a new constitution.


ðŸšŦ Bung and Baipor, two pro-democracy women activists, were denied bail 7 times and detained for 94 days after being charged with lÃĻse-majestÃĐ. The imprisonment clearly disregarded their constitutionally protected right to be granted bail and presumed innocent.


ðŸšŦ The Constitutional Court determined in September that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, who seized power through a coup in 2014, could remain in his seat until 2025, or more than 10 years. Despite the constitution only allowing a PM to serve for 8 years, the Court ruled that his tenure started in 2017, when the new Constitution was promulgated.


ðŸšŦ The Constitutional Court ruled that calls for royal reform represented an attempt to overthrow the monarchy.


ðŸ’Ą Nonetheless, there has recently been a step towards a hopeful future. In November, the parliament supported the motion to hold a referendum to pave the way for a constitution rewrite. If the senate gives a green light and the people vote in favor of a new constitution, Thailand may have a chance at being protected by a constitution that is not written by the authoritarian military junta.

✊ Manushya Foundation stands firm in our support for the pro-democracy movement’s calls for a people-centered constitution and TRUE democracy. We urge that the Thai government respect the people’s right to freedom of speech, the right to bail, the right to vote, along with many others, which are not only safeguarded in the Thai constitution, but also in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The government must also comply with the UPR recommendations on #FreedomOfExpression and #FreedomOfAssembly, which it received during the 3rd UPR cycle.
