We are following current developments with extreme concern. Thailand must urgently
restore the legitimate democratic process and the Constitution, through credible and
inclusive elections. We urge the military leadership to free all those who have been detained
for political reasons in recent days and to remove censorship. We call on all parties to
exercise the utmost restraint. Respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms must be
upheld. Only an early and credible roadmap for a return to constitutional rule and elections
will allow for EU's continuous support.
