In another move for press freedom the children of the late PM of Thailand Mr Thaksin have asked the court to gag the press to speculate on the verdict regarding their 46 billion THB. This is similar on what the former PM tried to do when he was in power and the press freedom was lesser then it is today.
The greatest forum of them all at Thaivisa.com says that they cannot guarantee press freedom on its forum and maybe have to close or delete some post if the court gags all press.
Thaivisa.com has been blamed many times by its members for being too political correct and follow the Thai government policy’s a bit too much from time to time. Some even think the Thai Visa forum is working with the Police or Military to spy on people in Thailand.
The Thai court can off course not stop the foreign media to speculate about the case and I really hope they don’t put a gag order on any press. If Thailand needs something it is more free press and people should be allowed to write whatever they want like any other democratic country.
