BANGKOK -- A short-lived media gag order steamrolled by Thailand's Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha has raised skepticism among Thais over his government's respect for the constitution.
Prayuth repealed the order on Monday, according to the government's public journal, the Royal Gazette, on Tuesday. The withdrawal came shortly after the Civil Court of Bangkok issued a temporary injunction on Aug. 6 to block the order, which only had gone into effect on July 30.
