[Apologies for NM’s late coverage of this important issue. Both of us have been away. AW and NF]

Many of us have observed the rise in vicious cases under Article 112 of the Thai Criminal Code and the 2007 Computer Crimes Act over the last few years. The charges and prosecution of Darunee Charnchoengsilpakul. The case against Chiranuch Premchaiporn. The list of pending cases under both laws grows.

Most recently, Dr. Somsak Jeamteersakul, Associate Professor of History at Thammasat University, has faced threats for dissenting thought and speech. On Sunday, 24 April 2011, Somsak issued a press statement detailing the threats and explaining the logic behind his work (Watch video footage of his statement here). Simultaneously, the Santi Prachatham Network of scholars in Thailand issued a statement decrying the threats and the broader context of constriction of freedom of expression.

Scholars residing in Australia, the U.S., the UK, Hong Kong, Denmark, Singapore, South Korea and Canada also signed a letter calling for an end to the constriction of freedom of expression in Thailand. The threats against Dr. Somsak represent one more instance of ominous intimidation of those who criticize those with power in Thailand. In the current political climate it seems as though both legal cases and extralegal intimidation and threats will continue against those who dissent.

The statement is posted in full below. If you would like to sign on to the open letter, please send your details [name, title, institution (if relevant)] to [email protected].

Open Letter Calling for Intellectual Freedom in Thailand

As scholars of Thai Studies located outside the country, we have watched with deepening apprehension as the space for the free exchange of ideas has dwindled in Thailand since the 19 September 2006 coup. This constriction of thought and speech has intensified since the violence of April-May 2010, with the notable examples of the detention of Dr. Suthachai Yimprasert, assistant professor of history at Chulalongkorn University, by the Centre for the Resolution of the Emergency Situation in April 2010, the charges filed against Mr. Giles Ji Ungpakorn for the alleged crime of lesè majesté, and the ongoing case against Ms. Chiranuch Premchaiporn, Prachatai webmaster.

In the last weeks, Dr. Somsak Jeamteerasakul, associate professor of history at Thammasat University, has joined those who have faced threats for criticizing the state, the monarchy, and the relation between them. We wish to express our grave concern over the recent harassment and threats made against Dr. Somsak Jeamteerasakul.

The intimidation of Dr. Suthachai, Mr. Giles, Ms. Chiranuch, and now Dr. Somsak, as well as countless ordinary citizens, is symptomatic of a broader set of practices which gravely threaten the exercise of rights and the future of democracy in Thailand. What is now clear is that dissent is not going to disappear from the Thai polity, no matter what repressive measures the state chooses to take. Those in power must realize that discussion and criticism – not blind loyalty – are necessary in a functioning democracy.

We stand with our colleagues in the Santi Prachatham Network and call for an immediate end to the threats against Dr. Somsak and an end to broader practices of constriction of speech.
