Thailand to Boost Prison Capacity Amid Political Crackdown

Advertisement Thailand is considering an expansion of prison space as its existing facilities have become swelled with political prisoners arrested in connection with the country’s ongoing pro-democracy protest movement. Justice Minister Somsak Thepsuthin told reporters yesterday that Bangkok Remand Prison and Klong Prem Central Prison, where most recently detained political prisoners are held, have become congested with visiting supporters and family members. “Therefore, we are discussing finding a larger area that can accommodate more people for everyone’s convenience,” he told reporters. “Everyone should be treated equally.” Convenience is one way of putting it. Since the middle of last year, Thailand has seen a simmering protest movement that at its peak saw tens of thousands flock into the center of Bangkok and other Thai cities. The protests have called for the resignation of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha’s government and the drafting of a new, genuinely de

Singaporean University Publisher Accused of Bowing to Political Pressure

Advertisement More than a hundred scholars and academics have signed an open letter accusing the National University of Singapore (NUS) Press of bowing to political pressure after it last year withdrew abruptly from publication of a volume of essays touching on sensitive aspects of Thai politics. The book, “Coup, King, Crisis: A Critical Interregnum in Thailand,” was edited by the scholar Pavin Chachavalpongpun, a long-time critic of the Thai ruling establishment who has been living in exile in Japan since shortly after the military coup of May 2014. The essays in the book, which has since been published as part of Yale University’s Southeast Asia Studies Monograph series, cast a critical eye on the period between the coup and the flawed election of March 2019. In particularly, it examines the sensitive royal transition from King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who died in 2016 after 70 years on the throne, to his son Vajiralongkorn – an issue that can’t be openly discussed within T
