對王室不敬!泰國教科書談「君主制」遭查禁 作者感謝免費宣傳

該書因涉及泰國君主制度及冒犯君主罪內容遭禁,編纂人帕文對此表示諷刺並感謝當局免費宣傳

Quick Look

泰國警方以國家安全為由查禁學者帕文編纂的《當代泰國勞特利奇手冊》第2版,指控其內容恐引發動盪。該書探討泰國君主制與冒犯君主罪,違者將面臨刑責。帕文對此回應稱禁令反而提升了書籍的知名度。

Why It Matters

泰國冒犯君主罪規定嚴格,任何被控侮辱王室者最高可判處15年徒刑。該法常被批評為打壓異議的工具。

泰國警方日昨以國家安全為由查禁1本教科書,該書編纂人、目前流亡日本的學者帕文(Pavin Chachavalpongpun)說,查禁原因是該書內容涉及泰國君主制度,並反虧說,感謝當局免費幫忙打書。

遭查禁的是以英文撰寫、由知名學術出版社「勞特利奇」(Routledge)在今年8月出版的《當代泰國勞特利奇手冊》(Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Thailand)第2版,編纂人是批評泰國君主制的知名學者帕文(Pavin Chachavalpongpun);書中部分章節論及21世紀的泰國君主制,以及泰國政府如何使用冒犯君主罪。

根據4日發布1項由泰國國家警察總長薩姆蘭(Samran Nualma)簽署的命令,該書包含「對國安造成負面影響與恐在國內引發動盪」的內容,影響泰國的安全、公共秩序或人民善良道德。

該命令說,警方有權查扣並銷毀該書;任何人被發現進口或分發該書,最重可被判處3年有期徒刑、罰款6萬泰銖(約台幣5.92萬元),或兩者併罰。

王室在泰國社會享有崇高地位,並受到嚴格的誹謗法保護;泰國的冒犯君主罪規定,任何被控侮辱、誹謗或威脅國王或王室成員並遭定罪者,每項罪名最重可判處15年有期徒刑。但批評人士說,該法已成為鎮壓異議的工具。

過去曾在泰國外交部任職超過10年的帕文5日在臉書上發文表示,該書被禁是因為「充斥有關君主制的內容」。帕文還在另1篇貼文中「感謝」泰國皇家警察幫忙打書。

帕文寫道,社群媒體與網際網路當道時代,此禁令根本沒用,因為民眾搞不好根本不買紙本書,改看電子版就好「…禁令一發,出版商賺錢,我也賺錢,泰國人(對君主制)有更清楚的認識。這是多方共贏」。

What to Watch

AI outlook — possibilities, not facts

  • 泰國當局將持續監控該書的進口與分發管道。

Analysis: Trump suffered political setbacks in the midterm elections, which may bring "short-term gains but long-term losses" to China

The US Republican Party suffered a setback in the midterm elections, and the Democrats regained control of Congress. Analysts believe that this may give China more leverage in trade negotiations, but it also increases the risk that the U.S. Congress will promote arms sales to Taiwan and other tough policies, making Sino-U.S. relations face more uncertainty.

China builds 74,000-ton "floating island"! U.S. experts warn: Fear of mastering deep-sea technology standards

China plans to build a semi-submersible deep-sea floating research platform with a displacement of 74,000 tons by 2030. American expert Haley pointed out that this move is intended to monopolize technology by establishing deep-sea testing standards, and warned that the data collected by the platform has dual-use potential, both military and civilian, and may threaten national security.
