Rebels sorry for poor Thai sponsorship timing

Rebels sorry for poor Thai sponsorship timing

 

The Rebels announced on social media they had secured a new commercial partnership with Thai Airways, a company whose government is the majority shareholder.

The Twitter post prompted major backlash led by former Australian soccer captain Craig Foster, coming a day after Australian refugee and soccer player Hakeem Al-Araibi appeared shackled in a Bangkok court.

Al-Araibi is being held in a Thai prison as he fights extradition to his former homeland, Bahrain, where he fears he will be tortured.
