BBC journalist accused of lese majeste

Thai police officer Wattanasak Mungkandee has submitted evidence against BBC journalist Jonathan Head, after accusing him of lese majeste and, incredibly, of being in league with Thaksin to destabilise the monarchy. Wattanasak identified eleven 'inappropriate' BBC News articles, some of which commit the 'crime' of positioning photos of Thaksin above photos of the King. He also cited a 2007 FCCT seminar which Head moderated; at the seminar, Head broached the unmentionable subject of succession: "the King is now eighty; he will not be around forever". Wattanasak was also the officer who first accused Jakrapob of lese majeste, again after an FCCT speech: clearly, he is either paranoid or angling for a promotion.
