[Chapter-delegates] Updates re the Thai news website case

[Ang Peng Hwa (Prof)]

Some quick updates:

The Bangkok Post, the leading English daily, has the following report in its crime section: http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/crimes/295839/chiranuch-convicted-but-escapes-jail-term

Interesting, the Nation, has its report under Politics: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/politics/Prachatais-webmaster-gets-suspended-jail-term-30183148.html. I have the Nation in my hotel room and the offline version is more detailed. Apparently, of 10 posts on the website—which is a news website—nine were removed within 10 days. The 10th was removed only after 20 days.

For those who want to know more, I have put up the Google-translated version of the Judgment<https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8p9HJg2cUQ2YmhuNktHZ2dzZm8&invite=CKWj8tkN> originally rendered in Thai on my Google Drive site.
