The Enabling Space: Voices of Civil Society Resistance by EU SEE

Episode notes

Thailand is rapidly approaching new elections and a constitutional referendum on 8 February, following the recent dissolution of the Parliament by Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul on December 11th, the consequences of which include the lapse of the Amnesty Bill, among other things. In this episode we talk to our network member in Thialand to discuss this, Lèse-Majesté, and other developments that impact the enabling environment for civil society. You can learn more about the changing environment for civil society in Thailand by reading the EU SEE's recently published country focus report on the country.
