PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Thailand: Human Rights (4 September 2015)

The UK fully supports the right of activists to carry out their work and voice their opinions in order to promote human rights in a peaceful manner. In Thailand, our Embassy works bilaterally and in concert with EU representatives to raise human rights issues with the Thai authorities, including through the promotion of the EU Guidelines on Human Rights Defenders. When appropriate, the Government issues statements on cases of concern and reminds the authorities of their obligations to ensure that international human rights standards are upheld.
