Relatives of a suspected rebel who fell unconscious and died while in military custody in Thailand’s Deep South expressed disappointment Monday after the national human rights commission notified them it had ended its investigation without finding clear medical evidence on the cause of his death.
Abdullah Esomuso, 34, was found unconscious at 3 a.m. July 21, 2019, in an interrogation center at an army camp in Pattani province, where he had been held for 10 hours, prompting his family to question if military interrogators had tortured him. After falling into a coma, he died in a hospital on Aug. 25, 2019, while still in military custody.

May Day is when workers of the world stop and reflect. We’re seeing so many human rights abuses workers being denied their right to free association, free speech being suppressed. It is the responsibility of us all to defend our fundamental human rights.
The right to strike. The right protest. The right to freedom of association. These civil liberties, that run through the veins of trade unionist globally are under attack. And collectively we need to stand shoulder to shoulder and say, “no more oppression”.
Today, on May Day, the ITF and its 20 million transport workers call on governments, employers and civil society to respect our rights, end the persecution of trade unionists, and protect our freedoms.
