The Human Rights Watch (HRW) reported that the inquiry focused on her role observing legal proceedings and documenting rights violations against opposition politicians. HRW’s Asia director Brad Adams said, “Thailand’s rights commission is sinking to a new low by seeking to punish Angkhana for doing her job by exposing rights abuses and demanding accountability. The commission’s leadership has repeatedly failed to hold the military government to its human rights obligations, but it appears now to be doing the junta’s dirty work.”
