(Photo by Seksan Rojjanametakun)The Foreign Correspondents Club of Thailand was ordered to cancel its discussion on "Memories of 1932: The Mystery of Thailand's Missing Plaque" scheduled to be held at 7pm on Wednesday in Bangkok. Instead, the FCCT said it would mark the World Press Freedom Day on Wednesday with a discussion on the state of media freedom in Thailand. Complaints were filed last month about the disappearance of the 1932 Siamese Revolution brass plaque that had been fitted at the Royal Plaza in Bangkok. The brass plaque marked the spot where the Khana Ratsadon group announced its revolution in 1932.
