Kom Chad Luek

Kom Chad Luek

"Kom Chad Luek" ( _th. คมชัดลึก) is a mass-circulation Thai-language daily newspaper launched in 2001 and published in Bangkok, Thailand by the Nation Multimedia Group. Its circulation is in the 500,000-600,000 range.

Controversy

"Kom Chad Luek" became the target of mass protests after it printed an article on March 24, 2006 that omitted part of a quote by anti-government protest leader Sondhi Limthongkul, with the misquote suggesting Sondhi wanted King Bhumibol Adulyadej to abdicate, which was viewed as an insult to the king, or lese majesty, which is a crime in Thailand.

The paper published a front-page apology on March 30, begging forgiveness from the king.

However, protests in front of the newspaper's offices continued. The paper's editor Korkhet Chantalertlak resigned in a show of responsibility, the chief news editor was reassigned and the paper said it would suspend publication for a total of five days, from March 31 to April 2 and on April 8 and 9.
