The Economist magazine will not be distributed in Thailand this week。
In an email to its subscribers earlier today, The Economist said: "We deeply regret to inform you that our distributors in Thailand have decided not to deliver the July 4th issues of The Economist in light of our coverage relating to the lese majeste law."
For the last three months subscriber copies in Thailand have been delivered by a company called Angler's Liberation Co. Limited. It is not clear from the email whether copies will appear in the bookshops, but I suspect not.
The story in question is headlined 'Treason in Cyberspace' and, given the current provisions of the lese majeste laws, it is clear why this edition of the magazine will not be seen by subscribers in Thailand.
