webfact Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 PEOPLE'S RIGHTSRights chief warns police on 'chat' probesThe NationBANGKOK: -- The chair of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has warned police to be cautious about its reported plan to examine the chat-application conversation histories of some suspects.The Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD) recently suggested that it will be looking into suspects' online-chat history.NHRC chairwoman Amara Pongsapich yesterday warned that such a move would be very much like tapping a telephone line to listen to a private conversation.The examination of online-chat histories, she warned, carried risks of violating people's rights.The plan is reportedly linked to the TCSD's summonses for four persons who posted online political comments deemed by police as a false statement that could have caused public panic and the hoarding of food and water.Sermsuk Kasitpradit, who now works as Thai PBS's political and security editor, is among the four summoned.-- The Nation 2013-08-13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NongKhaiKid Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I'd like to know how they define the word 'suspect'. Somebody who is against the government? It's beginning to look like it isn't it ? YL's recent controversial speech is more and more ridiculous, not that I'm saying she actually knew what she was saying, but the word democracy is becoming redundant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzMick Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I can't see that looking at postings on a public forum is a problem, whereas private communications are a different matter. The question is how is it illegal to express your ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noistar Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 A question. Is the Thai definition of 'the law' like its definition of 'democracy'? Is there a jury system? Who determines if the charge is valid or not? It seems to hinge on people being found guilty before charges are even brought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
