Govt alarmed by violence; pledges to ask embassies of foreign countries to extradite suspected critics

 

BANGKOK: -- PRIME MINISTER Prayut Chan-o-cha yesterday urged the public to be mindful about spreading information or pictures that might be deemed to violate lese majeste laws, which could break the law, hurt people’s feelings and deepen divisions. 


The National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), meanwhile, expressed concerns over the situation, instructing officials, especially the police, to pursue related cases with caution, and try to help to tone down heated incidents by preventing angry mobs from attacking people who have allegedly committed lese majeste. 


“I ask you to not spread or share such content or photos,” Prayut said after the Cabinet meeting yesterday. “Because that will not only hurt Thai people’s feelings but also break laws.”
