A/HRC/60/62 123. According to information received by OHCHR, in two different incidents, two women human rights defenders who publicly cooperated with the United Nations faced intimidation and reprisals, following their respective engagements with the United Nations. Both reported fear of reprisals against family members. One of them reportedly limited her public engagement and visibility to mitigate risks. 124. In a different case, an organization actively advocating for women’s rights in the context of the ongoing conflict was reportedly subjected to online harassment and surveillance following its public intervention at a high-level United Nations meeting. These acts of reprisals were allegedly carried out both by both State and non-State actors. 125. In a separate case, a woman human rights defender advocating for the rights of survivors of sexual and gender-based violence, including conflict-related sexual violence in Sudan, declined invitations to participate in a United Nations public forum on three consecutive occasions. Her decision was reportedly based on fear of reprisals against herself and her team should she engage publicly with the United Nations. There are serious concerns that public engagement, including with the United Nations, on alleged violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law committed by parties to the conflict in Sudan, could lead to accusations of collaboration by each of the parties to the conflict. Such accusations have resulted in serious human rights violations and abuses as documented by OHCHR during the reporting period, including arbitrary detention, torture, and ill-treatment as well as extrajudicial killings.46 21. Thailand 126. During the reporting period, OHCHR received two allegations of reprisals for cooperation with the United Nations. 127. In the first instance, according to information received by OHCHR, woman human rights defender Ms. Pimsiri Petchnamrob is banned from traveling outside Thailand, allegedly to prevent her from her international advocacy on human rights, including her participation in the Human Rights Council. 128. Ms. Petchnamrob has not been able to travel abroad since 25 November 2021, after being charged with ten criminal offences and released on bail the same day under several conditions, including a restriction on international travel without prior court approval. Ms. Petchnamrob faced 10 different criminal charges, including lèse-majesté and sedition under Section 112 and 116 of the Criminal Code. Her case is currently pending a decision in court. 129. Ms. Petchnamrob’s charges and associated travel restrictions are reportedly connected to a speech she delivered at a rally in November 2020, during which she cited the then Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression’s analysis of the lèse-majesté laws.47 This reference was allegedly presented by the public prosecutor as one of the two principal grounds for the charges brought against her. 130. Ms. Petchnamrob had previously delivered public statements to the Council in 2016 and 2018, 48 which reportedly drew the attention of the Thai authorities to her activism. In August 2021, a confidential document labelled “Top Secret” was leaked by local media, reporting that Thai immigration authorities were allegedly monitoring 183 individuals, including Ms. Petchnamrob. 131. Due to her travel restrictions, on 13 February 2023 and again on 24 February2023 with additional information supporting her application, Ms. Petchnamrob applied for court 46 A/HRC/58/29, para 91; https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/documents/countries/sudan/reportohchr-sudan-country-office-detention-facilities-khartoum.pdf; https://www.ohchr.org/en/pressreleases/2025/05/horrors-sudan-know-no-bounds-warns-turk-urging-end-conflict; https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2025/04/sudan-un-human-rights-chief-appalled-widespreadextrajudicial-killings. 47 Thailand: UN rights expert concerned by the continued use of lèse-majesté prosecutions | OHCHR. 48 https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2017/02/thailand-un-rights-expert-concerned-continued-uselese-majeste-prosecutions. 36
