pookiki Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 FCCT CALLS ON THAILAND PROTEST LEADERS TO PUBLICLY GUARANTEE JOURNALISTS' RIGHTS An accredited foreign journalist was today assaulted by anti-government protesters while doing his job covering the ongoing protests. Details are not clear but initial reports say a speaker from the stage singled him out, triggering the assault. The incident was also featured on Blue Sky TV, and Internet comments continued to target the journalist. The FCCT deplores this in the strongest possible terms, and calls upon protest leaders to unequivocally and publicly state that the rights of journalists, foreign or Thai, should be respected.

Crossy Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Indeed, I'm not a Yingluck supporter and neither is Wifey, but this crowd just lost all credibility. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetCowboy Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Personally, I'd have more confidence in the OP's post if there was a reference or two in there to lend it some credibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
