Amnesty International submits this briefing to the United Nations (UN) Committee against Torture ahead of its examination, in April 2014, of Thailand’s initial report on the implementation of the UN Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. The document focuses on Amnesty International’s ongoing concerns in Thailand and, in particular, torture in the context of counter-insurgency in southern Thailand; prison conditions; criminalization of torture; accountability for torture; and non-refoulement.
