Alan Morison blames a mistranslation of the English language report published in Phutketwan. He says the Thai Navys legal action is an attempt to close down the website because of its coverage of the Rohingya over several years.
It is all about one paragraph from Reuters that has been mistranslated by the Royal Thai Navy, its a paragraph in which the Royal Thai Navy wasnt mentioned in the original English version. And yet in the Thai version that was presented to police, the Royal Thai Navy is mentioned three times.
Both reporters have received the support of many groups including the International Commission of Jurists, U.N. rights groups and Thailands Human Rights commission.
Human Rights Watch deputy Asia director Phil Robertson says the Royal Thai navy appears to be seeking to pressure Phutketwan.
Both reporters could face five years in prison for computer crimes charges and two years for the defamation charges. The media freedom group Reporters Without Borders rates media freedom in countries around the world. Its World Press Freedom Index places Thailand at a rank of 130 out of 180 countries.
