A lese majeste event in Bangkok

Nicholas Farrelly - 10 Mar, 2009

An announcement that arrived in my inbox yesterday may be of interest to New Mandala readers in Bangkok. A translation is:

Invitation to lecturers and academics from every institution who disagree with the abolition of the lese majeste law to join a discussion meeting and press conference.

Friday 13 March 2009

10:30 am discussion meeting, 1:30 pm press conference

At the 9th floor meeting room, Malai Huwanan Building

If any readers do attend this event we would, of course, be delighted to host a short report. Please get in contact if you would like to write one.
