Criticism of system by Thai Associate Professor, Kyoto University Supporters of Japan call for Japan to stop

As young people participating in anti-government demonstrations in Thailand seek royal reform, a group that supports the government and defends the royal family has received information that Thai activists living in Japan instigate anti-government activities and criticize the royal family. I have submitted a request letter asking the Japanese government to stop such activities immediately.

In Thailand, a number of anti-government protests by young people have been made, saying that the Prayut administration is taking a powerful stance against the background of the influence of the military, and some people even appeal to the royal reform, which has been considered taboo until now. I am.

On the other hand, a group that supports the government and defends the royal family also holds a large-scale rally and accuses that "the acts that destroy the royal system will not be allowed."

Members of this group visited the Japanese embassy in Bangkok on the 31st, and Thai Pabin Chachawan Pongphan, an associate professor who taught at Kyoto University, sent his lie information on SNS and agitated the demonstration. He handed a request to the embassy staff to ask the Japanese government to immediately stop such activities, saying that he was criticizing the royal family.

One of the members accused Mr Pabin of attacking Thailand and using Japan as a base to create confusion.

Last week, the group also submitted a request for the deportation of Mr Pabin to Thailand.

On the other hand, Mr. Pabin called for support from the international community last week by saying, "At a meeting on the Internet hosted by the Japan Foreign Correspondents Association, "Young people's actions will be a turning point in Thai politics"."
