Army 'image' trumps the people's truth - News Summed Up

Army 'image' trumps the people's truth


Pvt Wichian was killed in the army camp in Narathiwat, while Pvt Songtham's plight took place at Payak Camp in Yala. One of the clips is a record of the beating of Pvt Wichian. Her uncle was beaten to death in an army camp and now she has been sued for revealing what happened. And when things get too hairy, you can always flip out the trump card: the people are giving false, defamatory information while the state lays claim to the sovereign of truth. The army said that it must protect its image against those who spread libelous information.
