Is UK’s Premier About To Make The Biggest Faux Pas Of His Career
November 10: UK’s PM David Cameron is receiving flack over his intended Christmas holiday in Thailand on the grounds that it will show that he condones the Thai government’s crackdown on Red-Shirt protestors in May this year that resulted in the death of 91 demonstrators and injured over 1,900 more. These measures and others, including general suppression of free speech, especially by the closure or blocking of 277,610 websites to date, are blackening Thailand’s international reputation as a state which perpetrates human rights abuses as a matter of course. The irony of the matter is that Cameron is due to lecture the Chinese on human rights’ abuses in his present trip there. Questions are being asked about his ambivalency, on the one hand scolding China and on the other remaining silent on the extreme reactions of Thailand.
