Thailand objected to the use of Bangkok to launch a report denouncing Vietnam’s human rights record and has reportedly revoked the visa of the main author, sources said Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Paris-based International Federation for Human Rights and the Vietnam Committee on Human Rights planned a press conference Monday at the Foreign Correspondents Club of Thailand (FCCT) to publish the report titled From Rhetoric to Reality: Human Rights in Vietnam.<\/p>\n

Thailand’s Foreign Ministry objected to the event, and it is unclear whether it will be held.<\/p>\n

“While the Royal Thai government attaches great importance to the principles of freedom of expression and diversity of views, it also has a longstanding position of not allowing organisations and\/or persons to use Thailand as a place to conduct activities detrimental to other countries,” ministry spokesman Thani Thongpaksi said in a letter to the press club.<\/p>\n

“I therefore hope that the FCCT will respect this position and not allow its premises to be used for such activities,” he said.<\/p>\n

The press conference was to be held by Vietnam Committee on Human Rights chairman Vo Van Ai and vice president Penelope Faulkner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
