A group of Thais Sunday demonstrated in front of the Indian embassy here in support of Satish Sehgal, an Indian origin businessman facing deportation for his anti-government views.

On Feb 4, the Centre for Maintaining Peace and Order said Sehgal would be deported to India for defying the state of emergency in Bangkok, reported the Bangkok Post.

Segal publicly criticised the government of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra at a rally called by the opposition People's Democratic Reform Committee.

A group of businessmen plan to submit a letter to the Indian ambassador in Thailand, asking the embassy to protect the rights of Seghal.

 

On Jan 22, the Thai government declared emergency in Bangkok and some nearby areas for two months.
