This group is called junta, which is defined as a military or political group that controls a country after taking power by force. Since the NCPO has gained power by force, there are many people who dislike the junta. Because of this, they have begun punishing news companies for speaking out against them. If a media outlet releases commentaries that are negative towards the junta or the monarchy, they can face intimidation, punishment and even closure. Despite this, many media companies refused to comply and were temporarily forced off the air. They were then allowed to continue broadcasting as long as they agreed to remove such commentaries. Not only has the NCPO tried to silence large media companies, they have also been silencing civilians. There is currently a law in Thailand that bans public assemblies with more than five people. This is to deter protests against the junta. They also continue to stifle free speech with the Computer-Related Crime Act (CCA). The CCA allows the junta to arrest people for sharing their dissent

A country of approximately sixty five million people that made its first attempt at a constitution (there have been seventeen attempts as of this writing) in 1932. The main issue is illustrated in the fact that the 1932 constitution “stipulated that all representatives would eventually be elected, but such requirement was conditional on half the electorate having completed primary education” (International IDEA. n.d.). The Royal family has the right to appoint a privy council of eighteen advisors that only the monarch can remove. Thailand is at this time a proportional government with a legislature of six hundred and thirty members.

Thousands of miles away there are people who see things differently than Americans do. They believe differently, think differently and also live life differently. Although there are tons of different cultures around the world, the Vietnamese culture has always been very intriguing. People may define culture differently, in this case, culture refers to the population, geography, structure, people, and so much more. Given the history, both past and present, with the Americans and the Vietnamese, understanding their culture, geography, weather, and their everyday lives is important.
The regime developed a sophisticated approach to online censorship and denial to free access to Internet. The authorities blocked access to several Internet sites and engaged in large-scale hacking operation of its citizens’ websites and private accounts. In addition to suppressing the media and the Internet, the regime repressed any popular criticism of the government and its leaders. With few exceptions, all organizations and associations that worked on political issues were denied legal registration. Independent organizations had very little operation, since they were not allowed to hold public meetings or engage in any sort of public criticism of the regime.

It is almost impossible to describe how meaningful these ruins are when it comes to knowledge gained about cultures and sacred places. These ruins stand as remembrance to the cultures and religions of the past. Some of these sacred places have been hidden for centuries before being rediscovered. Angkor Wat is a funerary temple of an ancient Khmer king. This amazing temple was hidden away in the rain forest of Cambodia for centuries before being rediscovered in 1860. Even after being rediscovered it was difficult to visit due to war and turmoil that surrounded this wonder. Originally this temple was dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu before being converted into a monastery by Buddhist monks (Bellows,114). Some might say that the rain forest gave aid and protected the temple for centuries to showcase how humankind kind expressed and created sacred centuries ago.
But many of these journalists are being denied to go into the country and some of them are allowed into the country but they aren’t allowed to meeting that the dictator will have with other officials. It happened in other countries as well and progressed its way to Panama. “This summer, Bertoni submitted a report to the inter-American Commission on Human Rights documenting a program run by the Colombian government to protect journalists. The report said hundreds of journalists had benefited from the program but that it needed more political support and a larger budget.” (Boustany). Other countries were having the same problem with journalists going into the country when they are allowed to, then they are just denied and left with no information. Other countries such as Argentina and Chile are discussing about making same laws for the journalists and how they can prevent form their human rights being violated. “Civil society is responsible for these new laws. All we did was advocate it and give support while the process was underway.” (Boustany). Society is the cause for this because people such as the dictator, make sure that these things don’t happen and then the government has to try to make laws for the dictator to
Lèse majesté laws are not something we have in the United States. However, these laws are very prominent in Thailand, protecting the monarchy from criticism, ridicule and even comical satire that could be deemed offensive. Those found guilty of violating these laws often find themselves in prison for years on end, or banned from ever entering Thailand. These laws apply not only to Thai citizens, but also have been upheld in the case of tourists and others who have never even set foot in the country but are criticizing from afar. These laws also have been used to ban books and plays that depict the king or the royal family in an undesirable manner. Due to these
