The human rights organisation, Amnesty International, dangers being expelled from Thailand, with the federal government accusing it of failing to adjust to legal requirements. According to a Bangkok Post report, Boonchob Suthamanaswong from the Labour Ministry says officials are contemplating whether or not to renew the organisation’s operating licence. He says Amnesty’s request shall be reviewed by a panel whose remit is to ensure international NGOs comply with the authorized necessities attached to operating licences, which are renewed every 2 years.
Boonchob says one criteria for an working licence is that the organisation just isn’t pushed by a political agenda that threatens Thailand’s nationwide safety. Organisations should undertake a impartial stance in relation to political points and refrain from selling social unrest. He says organisations should also submit a report of their actions every 6 months, alleging that Amnesty has failed to take action.
