Millions are expected to join the nationwide mobilization launched by a combination of central trade #unions and an united front of #farmers called the #SamyuktaKisanMorcha.
India’s major farmers and workers unions are coming together to launch a nationwide mobilization on Tuesday, November 26, to demand the government address the distress faced by the majority of the country’s population of farmers and workers.
A call for nationwide #protests was given by the united farmers front, Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) and a joint platform of the Central Trade Unions earlier this month. Left-affiliated farmer’s organizations All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS), All India Agricultural Workers Union (ALAWU), and Center for Indian Trade Unions (CITU), one of India’s largest trade union federations, are part of the call to mobilize.

#Tibetan language #activist Tashi Wangchuk was detained for 15 days - #TibetWatch
#Tibet Watch has learned that Tibetan language advocate Tashi Wangchuk was detained last month on 20 October. The #Yushu City Police Detention Centre released him last Monday after 15 days.
The organisation responsible for his detention was the #CybersecurityBrigade (网安大队).
Tibet Watch obtained the official arrest warrant dated 20 October 2024 by the Yushu City Public Security Bureau, which states that Tashi Wangchuk was given 15-day administrative detention penalty for having repeatedly fabricated and spread, since June this year, “unconfirmed, false, and untrue videos and speeches” that slander and defame the government organs on social media platforms such as #Douyin and #Kuaishou.

The videos posted to Facebook all have the same look and feel: The subject looks directly at the camera, joins his hands in a sampeah – a #Cambodian gesture of respect – and apologizes.
Examples from last month – Cambodian #journalist Mech Dara and overseas #activist Hay Vanna – were just the latest additions to a long list of activists and #critics forced by #threats or legal action to recant and pledge their loyalty to the ruling #CambodianPeoplesParty (CPP).
Those are some of the most high-profile instances. Several other opposition activists told #RadioFreeAsia that they were forced to pledge allegiance to the ruling party to maintain the safety of their family or to avoid politically motivated criminal charges.

Although Vietnam ratified the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment in 2015, such ill-treatment continues in #Vietnamese #prisons. In September and October 2024, four #PrisonersOfConscience went on hunger strike for several weeks to protest their conditions of detention in Prison No. 6 in Nghe An. These four activists included Le Manh Hung, Dang Dinh Bach, Bui Van Thuan and Trinh Ba Tu. They denounced the use of “tiger cages” as a means of #SolitaryConfinement, which were cubes made of iron bars with about 1 meter of space to move around as well as the inability to exit and interact with other prisoners.
The Vietnamese authorities have also increasingly violated human rights beyond their borders through #TransnationalRepression. Blogger Duong Van Thai, who was #kidnapped from #Bangkok in April 2023, was sentenced to 12 years in prison and 3 years probation in a closed-door trial on October 30, 2024 with the charge of “propaganda against the state” (Article 117 of the Penal Code).
Another ongoing case of transnational repression is against Y Quynh Bdap, a #Christian and member of the #Ede ethnic group in Vietnam. Bdap fled to #Thailand in 2018 to escape religious and political #persecution by Vietnamese officials. He was granted #RefugeeStatus by the UN refugee agency. But, under pressure from the Vietnamese government, the Thai police arrested Bdap in June 2024 with the threat of #extradition back to Vietnam.
Besides the case of Duong Van Thai kidnapped in Bangkok in 2023, there were two other cases of transnational kidnapping, which occurred in #Berlin in 2017 (Trinh Xuan Thanh) and in Bangkok in 2019 (Truong Duy Nhat). The three kidnappings happened under the purview of Mr. Tô Lâm, who was Minister of Public Security from 2016 to 2024. With these cases of transnational repression, the Vietnamese authorities are testing how far it can extend its power to #SilenceActivists.
