As of Tuesday, the prosecutor had not decided whether or not to prosecute Future Forward Party leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit in a case related to criticism of the junta last year.

 

Thanathorn had been accused of posting false information online after slamming the ruling junta via a Facebook Live feed last year. 

 

The prosecutor will now make a decision on June 28. The authority was previously meant to make the decision on Tuesday, but deferred the action due to uncompleted legal procedures, Thanathorn’s lawyer Kritsadang Nutcharas said.

 

The prosecutor said the investigation report had yet to be filed because interviews with related individuals have yet to be completed, the lawyer said.

Ah, the old 'thin skinned junta' syndome.

If they can ban him from politics for the media shares sham, they might not bother with this case. It's not as if any of this is about law and order or right and wrong.

Yup, so very sadly we might as well say that Thanathorn’s been found guilty already.

Just rid Thai politics of this Thaksin clone and be done with this soap opera. You align yourself with the Thaksin funded and run Pheu Thai party you an expect to be scrutinized down to the poop in your undies. This light weight isn't going anywhere.

Yes we still get to Lampoon them as they will still be p[utting the articles her on TV.

 

many Canadian Newspapers have also announced that they are going digital and dropping the print. 

They are having a hard time getting advertising dollars to cover the costs.

They no longer need the buildings as everything can be done from home or Starbucks for most of the reporting.

Rubbish - if he doesn't, his party will - FUTURE FORWARD (exactly that). A newly formed party that came third in the Thai General Election is remarkable and will become even more popular with the current young, or next, generations.

The prosecutor needs time, got to weigh up his own future before deciding.

I hope you're right. Thailand needs new fresh politicians who aren't controlled by the old feudal patronage system.

 

However, exactly what the relationship of the FFP leader and owning PTP family is has yet to be seen.

Exactly my thoughts, they probably got a nod not to bother with this case any more, as they will find him guilty on a much graver charge soon....

Sure, just get rid of all politicians you do not like. What a disgraceful remark. Sick and tired of people showing no respect for choices made by the Thai electorate. To fix Thailands problems, acceptance and respect for democracy is key. Thaksin is not the problem, people like you are. 

Guess the are just waiting for the "disappearing" act managed by the Junta. The Mekong has become overcrowded with bodies of late.

They both want to change the constitution, appointed Senate and make the electoral system fairer for the future. In addition Thanatorn (perhaps too outspoken) wants the Army out of politics and stop conscription. They are both anti elite parties. 

A smear comedy of the worst kind.
Many Thais are angry about these tricks from the bottom drawer.

And what is with this case?

And this one?

If anyone deserves a chest full of medals, it's this guy for having the nuts to stand up and be critical.

Either way they have taken him out of play for the period of time that the government is being formed. Mission accomplished. This was critical to the junta's ability to steal this election.
