A 15-year-old girl, who was released on May 18 after being detained for 51 days on a charge of royal defamation, has not faced expulsion from school, Education Minister Trinuch Thienthong said on Wednesday.

Ms Trinuch said the school director informed her that no instruction had been issued to expel Thanalop “Yok” Phalanchai. The minister's response came after Yok posted a message on Facebook, claiming she had been expelled and was now "an outsider".
