Pol Gen Sivara says no evidence yet to place charges over controversial rap song

16 Sept 07:49 Key points summarised by AI

Deputy police chief Pol Gen Sivara Rangsibrahmanakul stated there is currently no evidence to charge creators or users of the controversial rap song “Prathet Koo Me,” making it legally permissible to sing, listen, or share.
The song, which critiques Thai society and the junta, has garnered over ten million views; however, Sivara personally reviewed its content and found no illegal elements.
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha urged the public to use their judgment regarding the music video, while authorities filed a complaint against a media outlet for false reporting related to the case, not against the song itself.

The suspects, identified as Chattharin and Rungarun, both 27, opened fire when confronted by officers, who returned fire, resulting in their deaths.
