BANGKOK: — The European Union Tuesday issues a statement to criticize the Thai juntas over the arrest or 14 student activists, saying their arrest and charges for peacefully demonstrating on 22 May is a “disturbing development” and violation of human rights.

“The EU believes in the right of all to express peacefully their opinions and calls upon the Thai authorities to abide by Thailand’s obligations under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

Respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms must be upheld, and military courts should not be used to try civilian,” the statement said.
