Thai authorities have issued a deportation order against the French director of a zoo in Koh Samui, Kevin Dimmineau, who had placed a Palestinian flag and signs barring Israelis from entering the park. The order, signed by the Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, also accuses Dimmineau of "sowing discord and inciting racial and religious divisions."
This action follows an incident on Friday where Israeli authorities ordered the deportation of an Israeli national who had confronted and threatened the zoo owner. The Israeli was convicted of "threatening and behaving in a manner that caused fear and distress to another person."
Dimmineau claimed that he and his family had received threats, and that his mother's house in France was even set on fire.
