 In October 2019, ISOC filed sedition charges against 12 opposition politicians and academics, including leaders of Future Forward and Pheu Thai parties.They are accused of inciting insurrection against the state for discussing amendments to the junta-drafted 2017 constitution on 28 September in Pattani Province.Their choice of venue is unfortunate as Pattani operates under a "state of emergency" enacted by the army to combat local separatists.
