The military coup of mid 2014 has seen hundreds of Thai labour and human rights activists flee the country while many have been arrested or facing restrictions in their movements. The military junta has recently stepped up the use of the Lese Majeste law handing out sentences as long as 30 years. Currently, ‘Uncle Opas’ is a 68 year political prisoner under Lese Majeste for allegedly writing anti government graffiti on a toilet wall. Uncle Opas is very sick, and if he is not released, he will become another prisoner who will have died in Thailand’s prisons because of the repressive Lese Majeste law.
No to the military!
Free all political prisoners!
