Drop Charges Against Chiranuch Premchaiporn

In a joint letter, Civil Rights Defenders together with several human rights organisations urge the Thai Government to drop charges against Chiranuch Premchaiporn.

Chiranuch faces trial this month following charges of the lèse majesté law, a law that seriously infringes on fundamental freedoms and is used in dubious ways against human rights defenders.
