United Nations urges crackdown on child pornography in Thailand
Bangkok – The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) on Monday urged the Thai government to crack down on child pornography, which is widely available in Bangkok.
‘The sale of such material is a blatant and serious violation of children’s rights, and it must not be tolerated for another day,’ said Tomoo Hozumi, the UNICEF representative in Thailand.
The sale of child pornography DVDs and VCDs at street stalls along Sukhumvit Road, a popular shopping venue district for tourists, was highlighted by the Bangkok Post newspaper last week.
