Thai reporters say bugging press room violates free press
REUTERS , BANGKOK
Wednesday, Jun 16, 2004,Page 5

The discovery of hidden microphones in a press room at Thailand's telecommunications ministry has stirred suspicion in the media, and newspapers are accusing the government of spying on journalists and violating press freedom.

A national watchdog group yesterday urged the government to investigate the incident and said any attempt by the state to interfere with the media's work would violate the constitution.

"We've asked the ministry to cooperate with our fact-finding team to investigate the incident," said Prasong Lertrattanawisuthe, vice president of the Thai Journalists' Association.
