  "summary": "Two human rights groups have called for the immediate release of three detained activists in Hong Kong and Thailand, citing a crisis of democracy in the region. The May 18 Memorial Foundation and the Network of Laureates of the Gwangju Prize for Human Rights have expressed solidarity with Chow Hang-tung from Hong Kong, Arnon Nampa and Jatupat Boonpattararaksa from Thailand, who were detained for defending democracy and human rights. The May 18 Prize, established in 2000, aims to promote the spirit of the 1980 pro-democracy uprising in Gwangju, South Korea, where military crackdown resulted in over 200 civilian deaths.",
