Prachatai blocked again and again
On the morning of 5 May, www.prachatai.net was blocked by the CRES. The page was redirected to http://58.97.5.29/www.capothai.org, with the message: Access is temporarily suspended, as ordered by the CRES under the 2005 Decree on Public Administration in Emergency Situations.
Prachatai immediately changed its domain name to www.prachatai1.com which has also been blocked.
As of mid-7 May, Prachatai can be accessed at www.prachatai.info.
www.prachatai.com was among 36 websites ordered blocked by the CRES on 8 April.
On 23 April, Prachatai filed a complaint with the Civil Court against the government and sought a court injunction to lift the blocking. Within a day the court ruled to dismiss the complaint without examination of witnesses, claiming the government action was authorized by the Emergency Decree.
Prachatai cannot file a complaint with the Administrative Court, because Section 16 of the Emergency Decree states that decrees, announcements, orders or actions authorized by the decree are not covered by the Administrative Procedures Act or the Act on the Establishment of Administrative Courts and Administrative Court Procedure.

It's so nice to see you Thais
It's so nice to see you Thais have that nice British-educated Mr Abhisit in charge. Nice to know that like your king, he is dedicating his life to the betterment of Thais everywhere, improving their education, improving their standard of living, improving their health.
He seems like such a nice man, just like that jolly Mr Suthep and that nice Mr Prem.
Curly, Larry and Moe.
seems like uddthailand has
seems like uddthailand has been blocked in Thailand, we are receiving red rally in Perth
damn repressive military controlled Thailand
you desperately need to control the military and forbid their involvement in business and politics and anything internal to Thailand
you dont need reconciliation, civilians and the police can sort out issues and decide what to do if no military interference
Remember that this Emergency
Remember that this Emergency Decree is Thaksin's baby (pdf), right?
How to have a coup without the military. Always the innovator that deviant, sociopath, human rights abuser, corrupt thief Thaksin.
The Red Shirts are fighting for the reinstatement of democratic elections and I'm with them 100%.
If they back a comeback by Thaksin they can put me down as 100% in opposition.
