Journalists warn of interference after army protest

Bangkok (AFP) Jan 13, 2013



Thai journalists have called on the country's powerful military not to pressure the media after uniformed soldiers protested outside a television station over comments critical of the army chief.

The Thai Journalists Association, which comprises representatives from the kingdom's newspapers, raised concerns on Saturday after around 30 troops held a two-day protest calling for an apology.
