Watch
Stage 1: Classification and Stage 3: Discrimination. The unlawful torture and detention of suspected BRN members and human rights activists place Thailand at Stage 8. Persecution. The unlawful killings of Thai civilians and authorities by BRN insurgents and of suspected BRN members by Thai authorities, plus both parties’ subsequent denial of their acts, place the country at Stage 9: Extermination and Stage 10: Denial.

Details

The Cambodian People’s Party arbitrarily detains opposition activists and has banned the Cambodian National Rescue Party (CNRP), its main opposition. Prime Minister Hun Sen has used COVID-19 to suppress freedom of expression, association, and assembly. Cambodia’s anti-drug campaign tortures those sent to drug detention centers.
