Court moves against fake video claiming judge said “sit down, my child”

13 Sept 19:44 Key points summarised by AI

The Constitutional Court is taking legal action against those who disseminated and distorted a video clip from a recent hearing.
The misinformation falsely claimed a judge told suspended Prime Minister Paetongtarn, “Sit down, my child,” when the actual phrase was “Sit down, please.”
The Court stated this misinformation misled the public, damaged its credibility, and constitutes offenses under the Computer Crime Act and contempt of court.
The Office of the Constitutional Court will pursue legal charges against individuals responsible for distorting and spreading the video.
The original hearing on August 21 questioned Paetongtarn regarding a petition for her removal from office over a controversial conversation with Cambodia’s Hun Sen.
