Nationalist sentiment has surged across Thailand following the worst fighting with Cambodia in decades, setting up a contentious Feb. 8 election. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/28/asia-pacific/politics/thai-nationalist-cambodia-rural-voters/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #politics #thailand #cambodia #southeastasia
@thejapantimes Let's add some criticism of the Cambodian regime: " witnessed the murder of a man who had his throat cut by a compound manager after he was caught trying to escape" -- "police visited their compounds regularly, including to remove dead bodies, but without taking any action against the managers" -- "Many people died" -- "murder, rape and torture" -- "evidence pointing towards state complicity or deliberate inaction" -- "Cambodian authorities appear to be doing nothing to help"
That's what Amnesty International is writing:

towards the Cambodian Hun Sen/Hun Manet regime when I am seeing this.

#States have reached beyond this sort of historical usage recently, employing public-nuisance laws creatively even when the problem is not tied to one specific piece of land. For instance, they have brought public-nuisance suits against opioid makers, gun sellers, companies responsible for lead contamination, & Confederate monuments. Public-nuisance #law has proved a malleable stopgap when other kinds of regulation fail.
It’s not a big leap to see an application here. If fentanyl production or the existence of a Jefferson Davis statue can be legally deemed public nuisances, why can’t a deluge of #violent, #masked, & #armed people flooding the streets of a city, #maiming, #brutalizing, & even #killing along the way? This deluge is perhaps even closer to a classic public nuisance because it involves an activity that impedes the safe & orderly use of public streets.
