Thailand’s Media Warned Over Coverage of Anti-Government Protests

Thailand’s assistant national police chief on Friday warned the media over how they covered the anti-government protests. Ordering them not to spread “misinformation” about the ongoing anti-government protests.
Pol Lt Gen Jaruwat Waisaya said the emergency decree, prohibits reporters from publishing news which might cause fear or untruths on the political crisis. Pol Lt Gen Jaruwat said authorised officials could seize equipment that violated the law, without elaborating.
“We would like to come to an understanding with the media on the reporting of the current situation,” he said.
“Facts can be reported, but news reporting which might lead to violence or mobilizing people to join the anti-government rallies could be illegal.” For example, declaring that “there is violence now” when in fact there was no violence could spread fear. Such reporting would not be tolerated.
“News reports calling on the people to join anti-government rallies including using pictures and news reports to rerun and incite unrest, this is also not allowed,” he said. Pol Lt Gen Jaruwat also said that reporting precisely what time protesters would arrive at venues is allowed.
The extent to which journalists had broken the law, as well as how much they intended to do so, would be considered by police. The police will then decide whether to prosecute them, he said.
He also warned the media to be extra cautious in their use of live streaming. Furthermore they must remember to carry their journalist ID cards issued by their news media company.
