Court clears Thanathorn in royal vaccine lèse majesté case

13 Sept 13:04Key points summarised by AI

Progressive Movement leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit was acquitted by the Criminal Court of lèse majesté charges.
The charges stemmed from a 2021 livestream where he criticized the Prayut administration's procurement of the royally sponsored AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, involving Siam Bioscience.
The court ruled that Thanathorn's criticism targeted the former prime minister's vaccine management, not the monarchy, and his references to Siam Bioscience were factual, not defamatory.

Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha abruptly exited parliament during a censure debate, expressing frustration that MPs were not paying attention to his explanation.
The PM was clarifying his government's southern economic zone project, specifically denying allegations of abusing power and forcing villagers to sell land in Songkhla's Jana district.
He insisted the project aims to improve local quality of life and is currently in a preparatory stage, requiring time for infrastructure development before progressing.
Prayut emphasized his government's commitment to solving complex southern problems and ensuring the project's transparent implementation.
