Prachatai continues to update its stream of reports on yesterday’s police raid. You can read all about it in Thai or in English. According to Prachatai founder, former Senator Jon Ungpakorn:

I don’t know if there was any order to shut down Prachatai. There are many other websites that contains offensive comments. Prachatai is an independent website, which is run under a legal foundation, making clear who is in charge. I wonder who initiated this police action…

For the moment the website is still up and running. But Jon’s query is worth repeating. Who initiated this police action? Information from New Mandala readers is more than welcome here.
