Thai Lawyers for Human Rights (TLHR) was established two days following the coup in 2014 by a group of human rights lawyers and social activists. Initially an ad-hoc organization, TLHR aimed to provide legal and litigation assistance to individuals who had been summoned, arrested, and detained by the military as consequences of exercising their freedoms and rights demanding for democracy in Thailand. Years later, TLHR has become a frontline organization promoting civil and political rights in Thailand and providing legal assistance while monitoring and documenting human rights violations nationwide.
