Harvard Divinity School scholars are appealing to a Thai court to permit activist Netiwit Chotiphatphaisal to resume his studies at Harvard. Chotiphatphaisal is a conscientious objector facing conscription in Thailand. This appeal is supported by a statement signed by 56 international academics, students, and activists. The group advocates for his right to refuse military service based on his beliefs. They argue denying him education due to his conscientious objection violates academic freedom. The petition requests the court to allow him to return to Harvard and complete his academic pursuits. This case highlights the ongoing struggle for conscientious objection rights in Thailand.
