Bangkok, Aug 10 (EFE).- Thailand revoked Tuesday a recent controversial law that punished with up to two years in prison the dissemination of information about the pandemic that “generates fear among the population,” even if they were truthful.The government made this decision after a Bangkok court suspended the order Friday, sanctioned under the emergency law in force due to the Covid-19 pandemic, considering that it violates fundamental rights.Authorities had the possibility to appeal the decision, but have chosen to withdraw the law completely.Prime Minister Gen. Prayut Chan-ocha approved the law on Jul. 29 amid strong criticism against the management of its vaccination campaign and the inability to stop the current outbreak of the virus.
