In Thailand, raised questions

Filipino journalist Roby Alampay, executive director of the Southeast Asian Press Alliance, flags our attention to the questions raised at Thailand's interim constitution.

He wrote:

Concern and debate are growing over Thailand's interim constitution.

SEAPA has posted a PDF copy of the The Nation's English translation of the charter, which you can access via this entry on our blog: http://seapa.wordpress.com/2006/10/04/thailands-interim-constitution/

The general who led the coup that ousted former prime minister says the charter adequately assures Thais of civil liberties and of media freedom. Many legal experts and academics are not so sure. A wiki on the issue and the ongoing debate is up on Wikipedia, which is accessible here:
