Poor free press score

News, Editorial, Published on 30/04/2018

Out of 180 countries, that is a scandalous place to be for a nation whose prime minister is promising a return to a system of developing democracy. On its face, such a terrible placing is a slap at the regime. For there is no denying that the fresh, global survey got Thailand's current position about right.
