Thai police seek probe of media over protests: Document
Thai police are seeking a study of four media outlets and a protest group over their coverage of protests on suspicion of breaking emergency measures restricting information, according to a document published by local media on Monday (Oct 19).

"It appears that there is content that affected state security, peace, and order, or the good morals of the people," the Oct 16 document quoted police as saying.

Police would request Thailand's broadcast regulator and digital ministry to research the outlets "and suspend broadcasting or remove computer information", the statement said.

Police said there will be a briefing about them, but made no immediate comment.
