Thailand wants lèse-majeste suspects to be extradited
The Thai government wants to convince foreign governments that violators of the lèse-majesté law should be returned to Thailand so that they can be tried there.
According to Prime Minister Prayut Kana-OCHA, the offenders pose a threat to Thailand's security because a number of people spread rumors on social media with the aim of sowing division.
Prayut said the decision to deport such suspects to Thailand depends on the host country. But even if countries do not cooperate in returning 'offenders', the prime minister is asking for the cooperation of these countries to deter individuals from endangering Thai national security.
It is said to be a group of about 100 people, including Somsak Jiemjirasakul, a former lecturer from Thammasat University who has fled.
Thailand's lèse-majeste law is highly controversial because critics believe that this law is mainly used to silence political opponents. Violating the law carries long prison terms.

Rule across borders.
Uncle Sam has spent decades sending radio messages across borders, including from Thailand, informing those behind political curtains about the blessings of Western society and the evil of Boris and Kim—so much. Now social media are the means of propaganda and apparently Thailand, which has blocked tens of thousands of websites, cannot handle it. Then apply pressure.
I don't think extradition to a country that still has the death penalty. Torture can also be an obstacle to extradition, think of the rumors about the Koh Tao case. And the presence and content of a treaty, right?
And what is lèse majesté? That concept is completely different in the Western world than here. What is allowed in the Netherlands by Lucky TV is completely impossible here. And isn't it THE means in this country to get rid of a political opponent? Make up a story and put it away for years.
After nearly seven months of junta under Prime Minister and General Prayut Chan-ocha, it is clear that this man has lost track. These remarks about the extradition of violators of the law on lese majesté confirm that. Danger to Thailand's national security? You just have to get up there.
Abroad laughs sick and in Thailand people also wonder what all this is good for. Prayut lives in a separate world and has no contact with reality. People who months ago brought up something good about the best man are now completely converted.
Moderator: first sentence corrected. Be careful with overly bold statements. I assume you don't want to put the editors and yourself in danger.
"Courage is the most necessary virtue because without courage you cannot consistently apply all the other virtues."
And then this. Most lèse-majeste charges are not about insulting the royal family but about telling the truth. And so Prayut is right. Telling the truth jeopardizes national security because for Prayut, national security is the same as maintaining his own power.
Dear Tino
2 nice comments that I fully support.
If you put yourself in danger by your comments, I'd like to do that with you
The man is completely lost.
The power he has goes to his head. He feels untouchable and thinks he is
can make the world believe that two plus two equals 5.
You can't be that stupid. To believe that there is only 1 country in the world that takes that request seriously.
It's a warning it's about time he thundered
