Thai not outliers. Ask youth of #Myanmar, #Nicaragua, #Ukraine, #Nigeria, #Sudan, #Hong Kong, #China, etc. Demand for representative governance, dignity and say in own futures, ie, democracy, stronger than ever. Free peoples must join in support

Sunday’s Thai election marked a rare moment in global politics when a suppressed protest movement found vengeance at the ballot box.

Courage, strength and fierce dedication to principle only begin to describe a man like @vkaramurza. His should be a household name in the pantheon of historic Russian political prisoners. #FreeKaraMurza.
Jailed a year ago today, @washingtonpost journalist @VKaraMurza will never stop speaking the truth and speaking out for freedom and democracy in Russia. #FreeKaraMurza
