Today for #16DaysofActivism we're featuring ICJ Malaysia Commissioner Dato' @Ambiga_S, who calls on governments to abide by their duty to protect women from violence, especially during the #COVID19 pandemic.

I continue to follow closely the situation in Thailand. I reiterate my call to Thai authorities to refrain from using force against peaceful protesters. Peaceful protest is not a crime but a democratic means for people to express their grievances and demands.

Here's @amnesty's line on tonight's shocking scenes in Bangkok.
Alarming that a Thai police spokesman said dye was used "to mark protesters for legal action.”
This is indiscriminate & puts ppl at risk: amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2…

"The excessive force used to disperse tonight’s peaceful protests was unwarranted and in no way complied with the principles of legality, necessity, and proportionality" amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2…

The Thai police have arrested 9 protest leaders over the past 24 hours. So much for the government promise to listen to their demands. It seems it is trying to lock up anyone with a leadership role in the protest movement. Government also insists monarchy cannot be discussed.

The amendments to the #Philippines' #HumanSecurityAct had been flagged since 2018 by the @ICJ_org that it would give government authorities a license to commit #HumanRightsViolations.
See here 👇 the 2018 memo of the ICJ on the amendments to the HSA:

@OHCHRAsia just released a report on the #humanrights situation in the #Philippines, where it documented longstanding violations and emphasizing that these have become more acute in recent years. bangkok.ohchr.org/news-relea… @ICJ_Asia @ICJ_org
#Killings and #arbitrarydetentions, as well as the vilification of dissent have increased over the last few years in the #Philippines. The report also documents reports of abuses by non-State actors, including those by the #NewPeoplesArmy (NPA). bangkok.ohchr.org/news-relea… @ICJ_Asia
