Racy books seized

Police yesterday caught two men at the 12th Book Expo Thailand 2007 selling pornographic novels and seized hundreds of the titillating tomes.

Special Branch Police commander Maj-General Sombat Supacheeva said that although these works contained no photos, they used sexually explicit language and could incite lust.

The suspects, identified as Chatchai Patwong and Thanapong Uponphan, could each face a maximum three years in jail and/or a fine of Bt6,000.

Ladda Tangsupachai, director of the Culture Watch Centre, praised the police for cracking down on salacious material.

The Culture Ministry will convene a meeting of agencies next week to tackle the spread of adult material, she said.

The book expo runs until October 28 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre.
