LESE MAJESTE PROBE AGAINST FCCT BOARD

The Nation is reporting that the entire board of the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand (FCCT) has been accused of lese majeste by selling DVDs of a controversial speech that took place in 2007.
According to the report which quotes from a story on the ASTV Manager website, 57-year-old translator Laksana Kornsilpa filed the complaint earlier this week alleging "the whole board may be acting in an organised fashion and the goal may be to undermine the credibility of Thailand's highest institution". The story also quotes Laksana as saying some major local newspapers may be part of a movement to undermine the monarchy.
A total of 13 people make up the current board of the FCCT, including staff from the BBC, Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, Channel News Asia and The Nation.
