Thai Lawyers for Human Rights (TLHR), a legal firm which provides pro-bono representation for pro-democracy activists and protesters, has been threatened with violence for provided legal support to two activists arrested on charges, including sedition, for allegedly honking their car horn at and blocking a royal motorcade.

<p>Thai authorities must immediately investigate the disappearance of Od Sayavong, a Lao activist seeking asylum, <a href="https://www.fidh.org/en/region/asia/thailand/investigate-disappearance-of-lao-activist-seeking-asylum">FIDH and its member organization Lao Movement for Human Rights (LMHR)</a> urged today.</p>

<p>Thai&nbsp;authorities should carry out an effective investigation, open to public scrutiny, into the abduction and intimidation of Eakachai Itsaratha, a community rights activist in Phatthalung province, <a href="https://www.hrw.org/news/2019/08/15/thailand-investigate-activists-abduction-phatthalung">Human Rights Watch</a> said today.</p>

<p>Faiyen, the protest band in exile, has received yet another death threat yesterday (12 July) in a Facebook message. The sender, who claimed to be a member of the special forces, told them to either turn themselves in or be killed.</p>

<p>Following allegations on social media that activist Sirawith Serithiwat was attacked by debt collectors, Patnaree Charnkij, Sirawith&rsquo;s mother, insisted that her family no longer has any informal debts and that it is unlikely that Sirawith&rsquo;s attack was a result of money being owed.</p>

<p>Following the attack on activist Sirawith &ldquo;Ja New&rdquo; Serithiwat on Friday (28 June), Prachatai spoke to an eyewitness who saw the attack.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Activist Sirawith &ldquo;Ja New&rdquo; Serithiwat was assaulted earlier this morning (28 June), said Nuttaa Mahattana.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Someone has ordered me dead,&rdquo; said the 7-times assaulted anti-junta activist Ekkachai Hongkangwan.</p>
