You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((short description|Non-governmental organization and advocacy group for human rights in Asia))

((Refimprove|date=December 2009))

The '''Asian Human Rights Commission''' (AHRC) is an independent, [[Non-governmental organization|non-governmental body]] that promotes [[human rights]] in Asia and mobilizes Asian and international public opinion to obtain relief and redress for the victims of human rights violations. It was founded in 1986 by a prominent group of jurists and human rights activists in Asia and serves to promote [[civil and political rights]], as well as [[economic, social and cultural rights]].

AHRC endeavours to achieve the following objectives stated in the Asian Charter: "Many Asian states have guarantees of human rights in their constitutions, and many of them have ratified [[international human rights instruments]]. However, there continues to be a wide gap between rights enshrined in these documents and the abject reality that denies people of their rights. Asian states must take urgent action to implement the human rights of their citizens and residents."

Its sister organization, the '''Asian Legal Resource Centre''' (ALRC), holds General [[Consultative Status]] with the [[United Nations Economic and Social Council]] (ECOSOC). The AHRC and ALRC are both based in [[Hong Kong]].

== Human rights issues in Asia ==
((Expand section|date=September 2022|small=))

On the eve of the [[International Day of the Disappeared]] in 2007, AHRC ranked the [[Philippines]] among the top eight countries in [[Asia]] where [[forced disappearances]] of [[activists]] are not just rampant but are carried out with impunity. [[Sri Lanka]] heads the list (statement posted on its website www.ahrchk.net). The activists took part in the Human Rights School Session of the AHRC for 2007. The AHRC listed the other countries where forced disappearances take place with impunity: [[Pakistan]], [[Indonesia]], [[Bangladesh]], [[Nepal]], [[Thailand]], [[Philippines]], and parts of [[India]].<ref>((cite news |url=http://www.gmanews.tv/story/58323/RP-has-high-number-of-disappeared---HK-group |newspaper=GMA NEWS.TV |title=RP has high number of 'disappeared' - HK group ))</ref>

Further, AHRC had evidence to show that [[Myanmar]] [[Military dictatorship|junta]] uses broom-wielding gangs or Swan-ar Shin heavies not guns to crush dissent (fuel price protests).<ref>((cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/30/AR2007083000089.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121102221620/http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/30/AR2007083000089.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=2012-11-02 |newspaper=Washington Post |title=Myanmar junta uses gangs not guns to crush dissent )) </ref>

On September 28, 2007, the Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) criticized the [[Writ of Amparo and Habeas Data (Philippines)]] for being insufficient: "T''hough it responds to practical areas it is still necessary that further action must be taken in addition to this. The [[legislative]] bodies, [[House of Representatives of the Philippines|House of Representatives]] and [[Senate of the Philippines|Senate]], should also initiate its own actions promptly and without delay. They must enact laws which ensure protection of rights—laws against [[torture]] and [[enforced disappearance]] and laws to afford adequate legal remedies to victims''." AHRC objected since the [[writ]] failed to protect non-witnesses, even if they too face threats or risk to their lives.<ref>((cite news |url=http://www.gmanews.tv/story/62409/Writ-of-amparo-not-enough--Hong-Kong-rights-group |publisher=GMA NEWS.TV |title=Writ of amparo not enough – Hong Kong rights group ))</ref>
