I deplore the fact that his trial only took place on 26 December 2018, more than three years after his disappearance in August 2015 during a large crackdown on human rights lawyers..."

"I am dismayed by the ongoing unacceptable situation for the refugee football player Hakeem Al-Araibi. The rightful place for Hakeem is certainly not behind bars in Thailand but outside, with his family, friends and supporters.
