Over 600 Students Rally for Education reform, Freedom of speech and Equality in Thailand
In Thailand, more than 600 high school students and teaching staff assembled outside the building of Education Bureau in the capital Bangkok, to denounce the current education system for its outdatedness, and turning students into puppets.
An 18-year-old protestor said, ”we are not robots. We have the right to voice out.”
In the march, some students held a gesture of 3 fingers, some had white ribbon, and others cross-dressed demanding equal rights for people of all genders.

Brinken: Asserting domestic jurisdiction doesn't grant the right to enslave, torture, disappear, and ethnically cleanse people
The United Nations Security Council held a video conference on Friday (7May). The US Secretary of State Antony Brinken said at the meeting, that asserting domestic jurisdiction doesn't grant any state the right to enslave, torture, disappear, and ethnically cleanse their people. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi accused countries of defining international rules as a “patent or privilege of the few.”
China chaired the rotating presidency of the United Nations Security Council for May and held this meeting on Friday to discuss multilateralism. The meeting was held online, on the theme of multilateral cooperation against the pandemic, global warming and other common threats.
Brinken stressed the need for countries to uphold international commitments, focus on human rights and respect for the principle of sovereign equality. “When U.N. member states – particularly permanent members of the Security Council – flout these rules and block attempts to hold accountable those who violate international law, it sends the message that others can break those rules with impunity,” he said, “Asserting domestic jurisdiction doesn't give any state a blank check to enslave, torture, disappear, ethnically cleanse their people, or violate their human rights in any other way.”
