Solemn protest against Thai government for its detention of Joshua Wong
By Network of Young Democratic Asians (NOYDA)
The student leader of Hong Kong’s Umbrella Movement, Joshua Wong, was invited by student leader from Thailand to give a speech in Chulalongkorn University. However, Joshua Wong was detained by Thai authorities when he arrived Thailand’s Bangkok Suvarnabhumi International Airport at 0:45 yesterday. He had lost contact for more than nine hours. According to Thai student leader Netiwit Chotipatpaisal, the Thai government had received a letter of instruction from the Chinese government to do so.
The Network of Young Democratic Asians presents solemn protest to the Thai government. The Thai government had violated Joshua Wong’s personal security and freedom of movement by detaining him in the absence of any legal reason. The Network of Young Democratic Asians believes that Thai Government's decision is a serious violation of human rights. We strongly condemn the Chinese government's oppression of the democratic movement in Hong Kong as well.
