According to a report by Thai Post on November 13, 2026, Panathep has formally demanded that media organizations delete video clips featuring interviews with Sitra. The demand follows allegations that Sitra engaged in 'fake reporting' and made defamatory statements against the Yam Fao Phaendin Foundation and the military.
