MP Romadon Panjor Files Complaint Over Alleged Military IO Harassment
People's Party MP Romadon Panjor has filed a police complaint in Pattani, alleging that military personnel conducted an information operation (IO) involving doctored images and threats against his four-year-old son.
On October 26, 2026, Romadon Panjor, a list MP for the People's Party, formally filed a complaint with the Pattani City Police Station. He alleges that a military officer has been conducting a sustained information operation (IO) against him and his political party for over two months. According to the complaint, the individual used doctored images and manipulated video clips to spread defamation and incite hatred.
Mr. Romadon highlighted that the most severe aspect of these actions involved the targeting of his four-year-old son. He stated that involving a child in political disputes is unacceptable and constitutes a clear violation of the boundaries of free speech. He has requested that police investigate the matter thoroughly and hold the responsible parties accountable under the law.
For residents and observers, this case underscores ongoing tensions regarding the use of digital platforms for political influence and the protection of privacy. While Mr. Romadon maintains that freedom of expression is essential for democracy and peace-building, he argues that the distortion of facts and the intimidation of families cross a critical line. As of now, the investigation is in its early stages, and the specific identity of the military personnel involved and the extent of the alleged IO campaign remain to be confirmed by the authorities.
