Watana to face charge of violating computer crime law
By The Nation

 

 

BANGKOK: -- The Technology Crime Suppression Division of the Royal Thai Police plans to file a complaint against Pheu Thai’s former MP Watana Muangsook for computer crime after his recent posts concerning a missing historical plaque, Deputy National Police Chief Pol Gen Srivara Ransibrahmanakul said on Wednesday.

 

Srivara said Watana’s posts could be misleading as they invited the public to step out to help reclaim the plaque. This could also be deemed as instigating unrest, equivalent to sedition, he said.

I have two sayings so far that simply don't apply in Thailand. 

 

"You can't have your cake and eat it" 

 

"It's not what you know - it's what you can prove" 

 

The computer crimes act is much like every other law here; made up as it goes along. 

Never seen a bigger bunch of scared babies in my entire life. It's pathetic.

The Royal Thai Police are full of sh1t. Sedition? Really? Pathetic.

Yes scared and guess by whom. Welcome to the land of fear.

Prayuth and his cohorts are scared of their own shadows and Its a wonder they dont charge them with stalking.

 

As for stalks I know when they could be well rammed.

For some reason all the effort seems to be directed against those people calling for the plaque disappearance to be investigated.

For anyone interested, an English translation of the Computer Crimes Act is here:

I have an idea about the reason, but I better don't get specific.

I just finished reading the article where PM says he'll have to have this plaque business investigated, suggesting he doesn't know anything about it, and his government had nothing to do with it.  He also suggested the public should forget about it, it's not really that important, just focus on the future.

 

But in this article, the government comes down swiftly on this ex-MP with scary sounding charges like "sedition", and anyone who tries to retrieve the useless, unimportant old plaque is a trouble maker.   Sedition is speech or actions against the government.  A government that just got done saying it knows nothing about this dusty old plaque, had nothing to do with it.  So how could finding the old one and who was responsible for the swap, be a threat to the government?

You have been warned, question the mysterious disappearance of the plaque and the same may happen to you !!
