Bangkok not prohibit expression of opinions : Sek

The Thai government "does not prohibit the expression of personal opinions on the political situation in Thailand,” said Thai Foreign Ministry’s spokesman Sek Wanamethee on Wednesday.

He was referring to reports that Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong was held at Suvarnabhumi Airport by immigration officials as he was about to enter Bangkok to attend a seminar held at Chulalongkorn University.

The move is criticised of being implemented under pressure from Beijing.
Sek pointed out pointing out that the Chulalongkorn seminar was permitted to be held.
He said permission to enter Thailand for Wong "involves various factors" and the foreign affairs ministry was reviewing the facts with the Immigration Bureau and relevant authorities.
