"Mr President, the fact that Andy Hall is here, and I welcome him and commend him on his courage, is I suppose indicative that this is a rather unusual resolution. Most of the people we have resolutions about are locked up and tortured, etc., but at the same time, the issue is very important because, as has been said, it is not really about Andy Hall at all, it is about the broader implications of his case and the attempt to discourage people from defending human rights when they are abused, and from defending the rights of migrant workers.
So I think we have to put extra pressure on the Thai authorities to amend the Computer Crimes Act and also the law on defamation. This is not right or proper and, because of our relationship with Thailand, the EEAS here should be in a position to put greater pressure on them to ensure that there is fair play for everybody, especially migrant workers, and also to ensure the conviction of Andy Hall is overturned."@en1
