This week, the Thai military junta gave a warning to any exiled critic that while they may be outside of Thailand, they can still go after their families. Noppawan “Ploy” Bunluesilp, with her three year old son, was detained by the Thai military for being the wife of journalist Andrew MacGregor Marshall. Andrew is in exile due to having written a book critical of the Thai monarchy. Fortunately, Ploy and her son were released and left Thailand the next day. Unfortunately, new arrests of perceived enemies continue to be made, swelling the numbers already in jail in Thailand.
