The weekend is here #MilkTeaAlliance & here is the events thread.

Get is a friend of the team, of many #MilkTeaAlliance folks. He like many others is in jail for speaking out against injustice, for peoples rights. @indexoncensorship.org published some of his letters from jail.
#FreeOurFriends
Picture of Get in detention. wearing a beige top, glasses & behind bars. Excerpts from letter: “To Friends in the Milk Tea Alliance Who Still Fight for Democracy” Get Sophon Suratitthamrong How are you? It has been nearly two years in which I have not been able to join the Milk Tea Alliance movement outside. All I can do is send and receive news from friends. I send out messages as much as I can. In Thailand, the movement still continues. I can see the struggle in many countries. I am very proud that the struggle for human rights and democracy goes on. You may think that Thai prisons have only Thai political prisoners, right? That is actually not at all the case. I live with two Uighurs. They were detained in a military prison for nearly 10 years before they were recently sent to the Bangkok Remand Prison. I also met Y Quynh Bdap, a Vietnamese NGO worker. He wrote a report about human rights in Vietnam for the United Nations. The Vietnamese government was dissatisfied and so they threatened him. He fled to Thailand, where he was then arrested and detained. There are Thai, Uyghur, and Vietnamese political prisoners, and now we have met one another….Anyway, the government’s lack of attention to anything other than preserving its own power makes it clear that we must fight for rights and freedoms. We can see who and what we are fighting with more clearly. I will continue to fight wholeheartedly with you….
