Thai MP Prawit Wongsuwon Slaps Female Journalist

News summary

Prawit Wongsuwon, a 79-year-old Thai politician and former deputy prime minister, faced widespread condemnation after he slapped female journalist Duangthip Yiamphop on August 16, 2024, when she asked him about the newly elected prime minister. The incident, captured on video, has sparked calls for a formal parliamentary investigation, with critics labeling his actions as physical harassment and an attack on press freedom. Senator Tewarit Maneechai has requested an inquiry, emphasizing the disrespect shown towards a journalist performing her duties. Prawit’s team defended his actions as a form of teasing, citing familiarity with the reporter, but this explanation has been rejected by media associations, which argue that the behavior demonstrated anger and intimidation. The Thai Public Broadcasting Service and journalist associations have demanded accountability for the incident, highlighting the need to protect press freedom in Thailand.
