Thailand: First criminal defamation case against rights defender Andy Hall dismissed – calls to drop 3 remaining cases continue

 Andy Hall, British labour rights activist and researcher, is facing legal proceedings for defamation and computer crimes in Thailand.  Natural Fruit made the complaints in February 2013, after Hall exposed abuses in its factories through a report published by NGO Finnwatch called “Cheap Has a High Price”

The first charge, regarding defamation, has been dismissed due to unlawful interrogation process. Hall still faces civil and criminal legal proceedings brought in three cases.
