Popular Post snoop1130 Posted April 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2022 The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has ruled that Restriction No: 11, contained in “Announcement 27”, issued under the Emergency Decree by the Thai government, which bars media from disseminating information deemed to be distorted, misleading or fearmongering, is a breach of human rights and must be revoked. The NHRC’s decision, which was announced today (Thursday), is in response to a petition, jointly filed by Thailand’s six major media organisations, seeking reconsideration of the restriction, which was issued by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha in July last year. They argued that the restriction is an infringement of free expression, which is protected by the Constitution.
