Journalists attempting to cover this week’s three-day visit to Thailand by Aung San Suu Kyi will face severe restrictions, RFA reported on 21 June.
Reporters have been told they will have no opportunity to question Aung San Suu Kyi, even during a joint news conference in Bangkok with Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha.
Thailand’s Foreign Ministry, in an agenda sent to correspondents, also advised photographers, videographers and reporters covering Ms Suu Kyi’s visit to be formally attired including during her scheduled visit Saturday to a border refugee camp only reachable via unpaved roads, the report said.
