Website ban 'violates freedom of expression'

 

LINDA RATCHAI & JULAWAN DOLOH

 

Government bans on a number of websites that posted criticisms of the Sept 19 coup d'etat violate the basic right of freedom of expression and should be lifted, website operators said yesterday. Somkiat Tangmano, webmaster of the Midnight University website, said the censorship or ban on websites should not be based on the judgements of just a few people.

 

The university's website was recently closed by an order issued by the Information and Communications Technology Ministry (ICT) under martial law, said Mr Somkiat.

 

Martial law was imposed following the bloodless sacking of the previous government and will remain in place until the situation has eased, coup leaders say.
