Asia Update TV removes red programmes

Asia Update online television station had no justification in removing programmes hosted by four red leaders, Pheu Thai MP Weng Tojirakarn said on Monday.

Should the station want to promote the amnesty bill, it then ought to introduce the views of amnesty proponents instead of blocking the dissenting voices, he said.
The cancelled programmes involved red leader Jatuporn Promphan, Deputy Commerce Minister Nattawut Saikua, Red Sunday leader Sombat Boonngamanong and Weng’s wife Thida Thavornseth.
The station, run by pro-Thaksin allies, were seen as close to the red shirts.
