Below is a statement from the BBC's Asia Bureau Editor Paul Danahar, to allegations of lèse majesté made against the BBC's South East Asia Correspondent Jonathan Head by Lieutenant Colonel Watanasak Mungkijakandee to the Crime Suppression Division of the Royal Thai Police on Friday 30 May 2008.
The BBC's Asia Bureau Editor Paul Danahar said "The allegations made against Jonathan Head are completely unfounded. The BBC understands that the police in Thailand are required to investigate all complaints of Lèse Majesté and will co-operate with that investigation. But it is very upsetting that his work should be incorrectly presented in this way and it has caused great distress to both him and his family." .
