STOP THE SILENCING: Urgent Action for Buppha Wittaya-Amponpunt
The Crisis:
Buppha Wittaya-Amponpunt is facing a relentless and “vile smear campaign” designed to punish her activism and legal challenges against state actors. Similar to the targeted harassment of Azerbaijani journalist Khadija Ismayilova, Buppha is being subjected to an unprecedented level of privacy intrusion, involving hundreds of illicit recordings and live-streams from within her private home.
Despite pending court proceedings and urgent injunction application, the abuse and exploitation continue unabated amounting to violence against women, hate crime, money laundering and crime against humanity.
The Evidence of State Overreach:
- Mass Surveillance: Unlike the single recording used against Ismayilova, this case involves continuous, live-streamed surveillance spanning over a decade. The more shocking aspect of this is that her adult daughter may also be targeted. Therefore, time is of the essence!
- Systemic Harassment: Buppha faces daily harassment and intimidation – both online and offline across all platforms and on an industrial scale – and the alleged targeting of family members through “honey traps” to further suppress the truth.
- Denial of Remedy: Efforts to seek legal protection via injunctions have been met with “disappearing” documents and the systematic blocking of legal counsel, which she reasonably believes the PM Keir Starmer is behind this, so that she cannot hold him and his co-conspirators accountable.
Our Demands to the UK Authorities:
- Immediate Investigation: Conduct a thorough, independent investigation into the unlawful surveillance, money laundering and harassment of Buppha and her adult daughter, as required under Article 8 (Right to Privacy) and Article 10 (Freedom of Expression) of the ECHR.
- Cease Harassment: Immediately end all state-led or state-sanctioned intimidation, blacklisting, smear campaign, including the targeting of family members.
- Restore Access to Justice: Ensure “Equality of Arms” by unblocking access to legal counsel and safeguarding all court filings from interference.
- Hold Perpetrators Accountable: Identify and prosecute all individuals—regardless of their position—responsible for the mass misuse of private information, production and distribution of illicit recordings.

Subject: URGENT: Systematic Denial of Justice and Human Rights Violations
Dear [MP Name] / The Justice Secretary,
I am writing to you as your constituent to express grave concern regarding the case of Buppha Wittaya-Amponpunt.
It has been brought to my attention that Buppha Wittaya-Amponpunt is facing a systematic denial of access to justice, involving the obstruction of legal counsel and the repeated “disappearance” of court filings. More alarmingly, there are credible allegations of state-led surveillance and “honey trap” tactics used against her family, possibly orchestrated by the PM Keir Starmer.
Buppha Wittaya-Amponpunt is currently a litigant in person facing powerful state actors. I have been informed that her fundamental rights are being systemically undermined, including:
- Article 2 ECHR (Risk to Life): A documented failure of the state to protect Buppha Wittaya-Amponpunt from imminent threats and severe harassment.
- Article 6 ECHR (Right to a Fair Trial): The repeated “disappearance” of urgent court filings and the blocking of access to legal counsel.
- Article 8 ECHR (Right to Privacy): Egregious allegations of state-led surveillance and “honey trap” tactics targeting her family.
As my representative, I urge you to:
- Inquire with the Ministry of Justice regarding the integrity of court filings in this case, the procedural integrity of this case and the safety of the individual involved.
- Ask the Home Secretary for a statement on the use of surveillance against human rights defenders in the UK.
- Ensure that the principle of “Equality of Arms” is upheld, allowing Buppha Wittaya-Amponpunt fair access to legal representation.
[Supporter: Insert a sentence here about why you personally believe the rule of law must be protected in this case.]
I look forward to your response on what actions you will take to safeguard the rule of law.
Yours sincerely,
