Thai Lawyers for Human Rights (TLHR)

Thai Lawyers for Human Rights (TLHR) is a non-profit organization established on May 24, 2014, by human rights lawyers and social activists in response to the military coup in Thailand. The organization aims to protect civil and political rights, particularly in the context of martial law and restrictions on freedoms. TLHR raises awareness of human rights violations, documents cases, and advocates for change both domestically and internationally. TLHR provides pro bono legal assistance, focusing on vulnerable individuals facing political and civil rights issues. Their services include representation in cases related to protests and state power criticism, strategic litigation, and public education on human rights. The organization operates a 24-hour hotline for those facing legal challenges and maintains an online database of violations since 2014. TLHR supports a diverse range of individuals, including pro-democracy activists, artists, and minors involved in political cases, while also addressing the challenges faced by human rights defenders in Thailand.
