Thailand’s Prime Minister urges the media not to report on Thaksin

Prayut Chan- Ocha Thailand’s Prime Minister has urged the media to avoid making reports with regards to Thaksin Shinawatera the former Prime Minister of the country warning that he is a fugitive on the run from lawsuits. He believes that reporting his movements, such as his recent trip to China to meet his sister and former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatera could cause his supporters to continue their political moves. “The media should not publish pictures of anyone who has violated the law” he said, “why have they reported it? If somebody is facing lawsuits the meida should avoid reporting anything about them, because when they do, questions arise as to why the government would not take action against them.”
