The new government of Yingluck Shinawatra has not yet fulfilled early promises to give priority to Thailand’s many human rights problems. There has been little progress in holding to account those responsible for political violence in 2010 that killed 90 and injured 2,000. Thai authorities enforce censorship and prosecute activists using the Computer Crimes Act and lese majeste laws. In the southern border provinces, separatist insurgents attack civilians and target teachers in government-run schools, and government security forces torture and disappear persons with impunity. Thai authorities continue to ignore human rights abuses against migrant workers and pushed Rohingya asylum seekers arriving by boat back out to sea.
