Thailand frees dissident journalist

Thai authorities have released an outspoken critic of the country’s military government from detention. It was the second time journalist Pravit Rojanaphruk was called in for a so-called “attitude adjustment”.

Rojanaphruk’s detention brought sharp criticism from international human rights groups and underlined the limits of freedom of speech under the government, which has resumed a crackdown on dissent since a military coup in 2014.
