In this open letter, international and regional organizations working to protect the rights to freedom of expression and freedom of the media write to raise serious concerns about the Royal Thai Government’s decision to seek the prosecution of Phuketwan editor Alan Morison and reporter Chutima Sidasathian for criminal libel and for violating the Computer Crime Act (CCA). The organizations urge the government to immediately and unconditionally withdraw the criminal libel complaint and to have the CCA charges dropped.
