Throughout 2024, Thailand’s political situation has seen a continual rise in the number of detainees involved in cases related to political protests and expression, encompassing both those awaiting trial and those already convicted. This increase underscores the urgent need to provide support to improve their living conditions in prison, systematically compile data on political prisoners, and advocate to raise awareness of their plight within Thai society.

Freedom Bridge is committed to providing necessary assistance to political prisoners and their families, while also advocating for the release of all political prisoners. As long as individuals remain in custody, the project is dedicated to improving their living conditions and systematically documenting information on political prisoners from diverse perspectives for dissemination and advocacy. Additionally, Freedom Bridge seeks to expand knowledge in Thai society about the issue of “political prisoners” to generate broader recognition of their existence in society. The increased awareness could pave the way for improvements in the rights and living conditions of political prisoners in the future.
