  • Protest Law & Public Order Policing in Hybrid Regimes
    Protest Law & Public Order Policing in Hybrid Regimes Pat Niyomsilp Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Law University of East Anglia September 2019 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. i Abstract Hybrid regimes are those in which only the formalities of representative electoral politics are observed. Consequently, political legitimacy is determined on the basis of whether the incumbent political leaders have the backing of non-representative political ‘guardians’ (such as the monarchy and the military) rather than through the popular vote exclusively. The incumbents need to win elections. They stay in power by manipulating the political sphere to gain unfair advantages over their political competitors. Individuals in hybrid regimes do not enjoy freedom of assembly in the same way as individuals in consolidated democracies. This thesis highlights how hybrid regimes in Southeast Asia (Cambodia, Malaysia, and Thailand) use legal mechanisms governing public assemblies to thwart the effective realisation of the freedom of assembly stipulated by international human rights law. Such legal factors are often overlooked by scholars in political science and social movement studies in seeking to explain both regime resilience and the repression of opposition protest movements. While hybrid regimes may appear to adopt international human rights standards on public assemblies, these are inconsistently implemented in practice.

  • Thailand: End Harassment and Prosecutions of Opposition Members
    www.amnesty.org AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC STATEMENT 20 January 2020 ASA 39/1684/2020 THAILAND: END HARASSMENT AND PROSECUTIONS OF OPPOSITION MEMBERS Amnesty International calls on the Thai authorities to stop instrumentalizing the legal process to intimidate and harass the leaders and members of the Future Forward party, as the country’s Constitutional Court prepares to deliver a judgment on 21 January 2020 on a judicial case that could see the party banned and its leaders prosecuted. The spate of prosecutions targeting the party appear to be in clear retaliation for activities of the party that fall within the exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and association. The Future Forward Party faces disbandment on 21 January. The case was initiated on 18 June 2019 by a petition filed with the Constitutional Court by Natthaporn Toprayoon, former advisor to the Chief Ombudsman. The party’s leader, Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, its secretary-general, Piyabutr Saengkanokkul, and several party executives are alleged to have violated Section 49 of the 2017 Constitution through acts deemed to have the intention of overthrowing the constitutional monarchy. Natthaphon further accused the party of having links to the Illuminati, a name given to both real and fictitious groups, citing a vague resemblance between the logos. Despite the party’s request for a full inquiry, the Court concluded that there was sufficient evidence to issue a ruling in the case, and refused to summon witnesses or examine evidence. The party could face disbandment if the court upholds the complaint, which would violate Thailand’s human rights obligations, including the rights to freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and association of the party’s members.

  • General Prayut Chan-O-Cha Voted in As the New Prime Minister (6/6/2019)
    General Prayut Chan-o-cha Voted in as the New Prime Minister (6/6/2019) Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha will continue to serve as Prime Minister of Thailand for a second term, as he was elected the new prime minister in Parliament late at night on 5 June 2019. The voting was conducted at the joint sitting of senators and members of the House of Representatives. The parliamentary session began at 11.00 hr at the TOT Public Company Headquarters on Chaeng Watthana Road. Two persons were proposed for the election of the prime minister. The Palang Pracharath Party proposed General Prayut Chan-o-cha, while the Future Forward Party proposed Mr. Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, leader of the party. General Prayut, Thailand 29th Prime Minister, received 500 votes, while Mr. Thanathorn got 244 votes, with three abstentions. After a long debate of 13 hours, the parliamentary session was closed at 23.55 hr. According to the Constitution, the person to be voted as the prime minister must win at least 376 votes, a majority of the combined membership of the 500-member House of Representatives and the 250-member Senate. The next step is that the new government, led by the Palang Pracharath Party, will be formed. It will be a coalition, comprising many parties. On the same day, before the parliamentary session began to vote for the prime minister, former leader of the Democrat Party and former Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva announced his resignation as a member of parliament. The announcement came after the Democrat Party, during its meeting on 4 June 2019, decided to join the coalition, with General Prayut as the Prime Minister.
