Government to try to protect Wild Boars’ rights to privacy

Deputy Prime Minister Wisanu Krea-ngarm will seek Cabinet’s approval for a proposal to set up an ad hoc committee tasked with protecting the privacy rights of the 12 Wild Boars boys and their coach and the Thai Navy SEALs who are now a subject of intense interest of the media and production houses.

He noted that the media may not be aware of legal restrictions and the child’s rights protection law.
