5 | The Thai Junta has issued a new order banning media from reporting news that is critical of the government. | Namoaka didim-panjakana vaovao mandràra ny media tsy hitati-baovao mitsikera ny governemanta ny Fitondrana Miaramila thailandey. |
6 | Issued on July 18 by the National Council For Peace and Order, the order applies to all types of media including electronic and social media. | Navoakan'ny Filan-kevi-pirenena hoan'ny Fandriampahalemana sy ny Filaminana tamin'ny 18 Jolay, mihatra amin'ireo karazana media rehetra ka anisan'izany ny elektronika sy ny media sosialy ny didy. |
7 | According to unofficial translation published on Asian Correspondent, the order bans: | Araka ny dikan-teny tsy ofisialy navoaka tao amin'ny Asian Correspondent, ireto avy no voarara: |
8 | - News that are detrimental to the national security or libelous against other individuals. | -Vaovao izay manohintohina ny filaminam-pirenena na manala-baraka olon-kafa . |
9 | - Criticism of operations of the National Council for Peace and Order, its officials, or any related individual. | - Fitsikera ny fomba fiasan'ny Filan-kevi-pirenena hoan'ny Fandriampahalemana sy ny Filaminana, ireo mpiasa ao aminy, na izay olona manana mifandray aminy. |
10 | - News or information that causes confusion, incites disputes, or leads to disunity in the Kingdom. | - Vaovao na tatitra miteraka fisafotofotoana, mitarika fifamaliana, na mitarika fisaratsarahan-tsaina ao amin'ny Fanjakana. |
11 | - Invitation or plotting to organise in manner that may lead to resistance against officials or individuals related to the National Council for Peace and Order | -Fanasana na teti-dratsy mikendry amin'ny fomba mety hitarika fanoherana manampahefana na olona mifandray amin'ny Filan-kevi-pirenena hoan'ny Fandriampahalemana sy ny Filaminana |
12 | - Threats to harm individuals that may panic or frighten the public. | - Fandrahonana mety hanimba olon-tsotra na mampatahotra ny vahoaka. |
13 | Media groups immediately raised concern about the broad and vague provisions of the order. | Naneho ny ahiahiny amin'ireo fepetra lehibe sy tsy mazava voalazan'ny didim-panjakana avy hatrany ny vondrona fampahalalam-baovao. |
14 | They also highlighted the severe punishment - legal prosecution, censorship, and shutdown - for violating any part of the order. | Nanasongadina mikasika ny sazy henjana - ny fanenjehana ara-pitsarana, ny sivana sy ny fanakatonana - raha misy fanitsakitsahana izay voalazan'ny didy ihany koa izy ireo. |
15 | After meeting with four major media groups - Thai Journalist Association, the Thai Broadcast Journalist Association, the National Council of Press in Thailand, and the News Broadcasting Council of Thailand -- the NCPO issued a new order that slightly amended the original. | Taorian'ny fihaonana tamin'ireo vondrom-baovao lehibe efatra - ny Fikambanan'ny Mpanoratra Gazety Thailandey, Ny Fikambanan'ny Mpanentana Haino Aman-jery Thailandey, ny Filankevitra nasionalin'ny Gazety ao Thailandy, ary ny Filankevitry ny Haino aman-jerim-baovao ao Thailandy - namoaka didim-panjakana vaovao ny NCPO ( Filan-kevi-pirenena hoan'ny Fandriampahalemana sy ny Filaminana) izay nanitsy moramora ny lalàna tany am-boalohany. |
16 | The ban will now only apply to “criticism of the NCPO's operations that have the dishonest intention to damage the credibility of the NCPO with false information.” | Ny hany hiharan'ny fandraràna aloha amin'izao fotoana izao dia «ny tsikera amin'ny fiasan'ny NCPO ao anatin'ny tetika ratsy hanimbana ny fitokisana ny NCPO amin'ny alalan'ny vaovao diso” . |
17 | And instead of being prosecuted in the courts, violators will face an internal “ethics inquiry” by their respective press associations. | Ary raha tsy henjehana eo anatrehan'ny fitsarana izy ireo, dia miatrika “fanadihadiana ara-pitsipi-pipehezan'ny asa” ao amin'ny fikambanan-gazety misy azy ireo mpanitsakitsaka ny lalàna. |
18 | The government also clarified that the original order intended only to ask for cooperation in information dissemination to the public and that it is not a new regulation since it merely combines previous policies of the Junta government, which is just months old. | Nanazava ihany koa ny governemanta fa natao hangatahana fiarahamiasa amin'ny fanapariaham-baovao amin'ny vahoaka ny lalàna tany am-boalohany ary tsy lalàna vaovao io rehefa miaraka amin'ny lalànan'ny fitondrana miaramila teo aloha, izay vao am-bolana vitsivitsy monja. |
19 | Human rights groups continue to argue that the new orders constitute a threat to free expression since violations of the regulation are to be determined solely by the Council. | Mampandresy lahatra hatrany ireo vondrona mpiaro ny zon'olombelona fa karazana fandrahonana ny fahalalaham-pitenenana ireo lalàna vaovao rehefa ny Filankevitra samirery no mamaritra ny atao hoe fanitsakitsahana ny lalàna. |
20 | Given the broad categories included in the order, many fear that the policy will force Thai media groups to practice self-censorship in an effort to avoid punishment. | Manoloana ny hamaroan'ireo sokajy tafiditra ao anatin'ny didy, maro ireo matahotra fa hanery ny vondrom-baovao Thailandey hampihatra ny fanivanan-tena hisorohana ny sazy ilay politika (lalàna). |
21 | Further, the Council has not rescinded a previous order prohibiting media groups from interviewing academics and former civil servants who could “give opinions in a manner that can inflict or worsen the conflict, distort information, create confusion in the society or lead to the use of violence.” | Ankoatra izany, tsy nofoanan'ny Filankevitra ireo lalàna teo aloha mandràra ny vondrom-baovao tsy hanadihady mpampianatra ambony sy mpiasam-panjakana teo aloha mety “hanome ny heviny amin'ny fomba mety hahavoasazy na hampitombo ny disadisa, handiso vaovao, hiteraka safotofoto eo amin'ny fiarahamonina na hitarika fampiasana herisetra”. |
22 | Phansasiri Kularb, a journalism lecturer at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, reminded the Junta leader, General Prayuth, of his earlier commitment to allow citizens to air their dissent against authorities: | Phansasiri Kularb, mpampianatra asa fanaovan-gazety ao amin'ny Oniversiten'i Chulalongkorn ao Bangkok, nampahatsiahy ny lehiben'ny Fitondrana Miaramila, ny Jeneraly Prayuth, ny fahavononany tany am-boalohany hamela ny olom-pirenena hanehoany ny hevitra mifanhitra amin'ny an'ny manampahefana : |
23 | Gen. Prayuth said on his televised program, repeatedly since the coup, to urge those who disagreed with his views to open up their mind and talk, but this announcement says the opposite. | Nilaza imbetsaka tamin'ny fandaharany amin'ny fahitalavitra ny Jeneraly Prayuth hatramin'ny fanonganam-panjakana, mba handrisika ireo izay tsy mankasitraka ny fijeriny hanokatra ny sainy sy hiresaka, saingy mifanohitra amin'izany ity fanambarana ity. |
24 | The order is very broad and … every comment is subject exclusively to the NCPO's interpretation whether they violate the order or not. | Midadasika loatra ilay lalàna … omena hodinihan'ny NCPO samirery ny fanehoan-kevitra rehetra raha manitsakitsaka ny lalàna na tsia. |
25 | Sarinee Achavanuntakul of the Thai Netizen Network described the new ruling as a gag order against all Thai netizens: | Sarinee Achavanuntakul ao amin'ny Tambajotran'ny mpiserasera Thailandey namariparitra ny didy vaovao ho lalàna fanampenam-bava mamely ny mpiserasera Thailandey: |
26 | This is basically a gag order, and it's not just a gag order to the press, but it's extending to anyone in Thailand, especially now that a lot of Thai people use social media to express opinions. | Lalàna fanampenam-bava tanteraka io, ary tsy lalàna fanampenam-bava fotsiny hoan'ny gazety, fa miitatra amin'ny rehetra ao Thailandy indrindra amin'izao fotoana maha-maro ny olona Thailandey mampiasa ny media sosialy izao mba haneho hevitra. |
27 | I think it is very dangerous and, to me, it signals that the coup makers may not have a clear idea of who the enemies are. | Mino aho fa mampidi-doza tanteraka izany, ary amiko, mampiseho izany fa mety tsy manan-kevitra mazava mikasika izay fahavalon'izy ireo ny mpanongam-panjakana. |
28 | On July 26, the Council invoked the new order to reprimand the Manager Weekly in connection to its 251st issue (July 26-Aug 1, 2014) which allegedly “spread distrust and fear among the public.” | Tamin'ny 26 Jolay, nampahatsiahy ny lalàna vaovao ny Filankevitra mba hitezerana ny gazety Mpivoaka isa-kerinandro Manager noho ny lahatsoratra nivoaka tamin'ny gazetiny faha-251 (26 Jolay- 1 Aogositra 2014) izay voalaza fa «nampiely korontana sy tahotra teo amin'ny vahoaka.” |
29 | The Royal Thai Army launched a coup on May 22, detained hundreds of politicians, suspended the Constitution, and controlled the newsrooms of mainstream media outlets throughout the country. | Nanatontosa fanonganam-panjakana ny Tafiky ny mpanjaka tamin'ny 22 Mey, nanagadra mpanao politika an-jatony, nampiato ny lalàmpanorenana, ary nanara-maso ny efitra fanoratam-baovaon'ny gazety mahazatra tao amin'ny firenena. |
30 | It outlawed the public gathering of five or more people and the holding of protest actions. | Nandràra ny famoriam-bahoaka mihoatra ny olona dimy sy ny fanaovana hetsi-panoherana. |
31 | And it approved an interim constitution just last week. | Ary nankatò ny lalàmpanorenana vonjimaika izy ireo vao tamin'ny herinandro lasa. |
32 | It appears the Junta is doing all it can to stifle media freedom in the face of deep political strife and uncertainty - just when the need for strong, independent reporting and critique is greatest. | Toa manao izay ho afany mba hanakendana ny fahalalahan'ny fampahalalam-baovao ao anatin'ny korontana sy tsy fahatomombanana ara-politika lalina ny Fitondrana miaramila - indrindra amin'ny fotoana izay ilàna indrindra ny tati-baovao sy tsikera mafonja sy mahaleotena. |
