The Thai authorities have blocked access to a youtube clip of the Charlie Chaplin's movie ‘the Great Dictator’.

On 21 June 2017, a Facebook user reported that an access to a Youtube clip of the movie ‘the Great Dictator [1]’ was blocked by the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society according to the Thai Lawyer for Human Rights (TLHR) [2].  

“This content is not available on this country domain due to a legal complaint from the government,” reads a message on the now blocked Youtube video [3].  

Earlier on 11 June 2017, the Thai Academic Network of Civil Rights (TANCR), posted on their Facebook page to call on people to watch the movie and a documentary about the 1932 Revolution called ‘the Six Principles’ in order to commemorate the 85th Anniversary of the 1932 Revolution.

The access to the documentary on Vimeo [4] is still available.
