“The charges against Chambers represent a ‘tightening chokehold on free speech and academic freedom in Thailand,’ said Sunai Phasuk, senior Thailand researcher for Human Rights Watch. ‘Paul is considered a major target by ultra-royalist groups, which have launched multiple attacks against him for years — ranging from online disinformation and hate campaigns to pressing authorities to revoke his visa and get him expulsed from the university,’ Sunai told CNN.”
