  • 26 JUNE 2015 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:  Thai Police Colonel KITTIGORN BOONSOM, center, tells representatives of the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand (FCCT) that a scheduled announcement by Human Rights Watch (HRW) about human rights in Vietnam was cancelled by order of the Thai government. HRW was scheduled to launch a new report, “Persecuting ‘Evil Way’ Religion: Abuses against Montagnards in Vietnam”, at the FCCT in Bangkok Friday morning. The report made no mention of the human rights situation in Thailand. The Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) contacted HRW Thursday afternoon and asked them to cancel the program because it was a “sensitive” matter that could impact on Thai-Vietnam relations. HRW told the MFA that they would go ahead with the report's release. Friday morning, before the report was scheduled to be released, Thai police officers arrived at the FCCT and cancelled the event. Phil Robertson, deputy director of Human Rights Watch's Asia division, said, "By stepping in to defend a neighboring state’s human rights violations against a group of its people and interrupting a scheduled press conference, Thailand’s military junta is violating freedom of assembly and demonstrating its contempt for freedom of the press."

  • July 6 - PHOENIX, AZ: GERONIMO, the great grandson of the famous Apache leader Geronimo, plays the harmonica during an immigrants' rights prayer vigil in Phoenix Tuesday. Geronimo said he was fighting for the rights of all people and that his wife, an undocumented woman from Mexico, had been deported and he was also fighting for her rights. Immigrant rights' activists have been holding a prayer vigil in opposition to Arizona's tough new anti-illegal immigrant law, SB 1070, which is supposed to take effect on July 29. The bill requires local police and law enforcement agencies to verify the immigration status of people they suspect might be in the US illegally. Opponents of the bill fear it will lead to racial profiling. The US Justice Department announced Tuesday afternoon that they would file suit against Arizona to prevent implementation of SB 1070. They are filing suit on the grounds that immigration enforcement is the exclusive domain of the federal government.       Photo by Jack Kurtz

  • 17 JULY 2006 - PHOENIX, AZ: Inmates WILLIE ZAMORA (RIGHT), ARTHUR HERNANDEZ and others stand with their hands over the hearts while the National Anthem is played in "Tent City" in the Maricopa County Jail in Phoenix, AZ. There are about 650 inmates living in the tents. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio recently started playing the Star Spangled Banner and God Bless America twice a day in the county jails. Inmates are encouraged, but not forced, to stand at attention with their hands over their hearts, when the music is played. When asked about the new policy Arpaio said, "Our men and women are fighting and dying for our country in Iraq and that's the least these inmates can do." In 2011, the US Department of Justice issued a report highly critical of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Department and the jails. The DOJ said the Sheriff's Dept. engages in widespread discrimination against Latinos during traffic stops and immigration enforcement, violates the rights of Spanish speaking prisoners in the jails and retaliates against the Sheriff's political opponents.
