All you have to do is look at Thailand's ranking on the Reporters
Without Borders ranking, 150 out of 180 so as you can see they are not a
true free country when it comes to the press. I can't believe that
Reuters is trying to distance itself from Chutima and make a it a point
to let the reading public know that she had nothing to do with them
winning the Pulitzer Prize, who cares if she made appointments or made
your beds she is a part of your team and Reuters should be there helping
the two of them.
Now that it is in the international press I'm
sure the Thai navy will back off, they are kind of like Malaysia they
have free press as long as it isn't criticizing any branch of the
government.
In many ways Thailand is a free country, for example
recent demonstrations and sit ins to get rid of the current Prime
Minister, although nations such as the United States, United Kingdom,
Canada and Australia for example would never get away with using the
force the government of Thailand has at times.
The ;main thing is I
think this won't go any farther and if the Thai Navy believes they been
wronged then they should take them to civil court and not criminal
court
