Two Italian tourists aged 18
and 20 were arrested on Monday in Krabi, southern Thailand, for
allegedly pulling down Thai flags in the town centre and
throwing them on the ground, police sources told ANSA. They
could face up to two years in prison for desecrating Thailand's
national flag. The sources said the pair, who were made to
apologize in a video, will appear before a military court in the
city of Surat Thani. The case is being followed by the Italian
embassy in Bangkok, which has contacted the families.
