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.
