French comedian Dieudonné , who has been roundly condemned for his anti-Semitic outbursts, had his show in Thailand canceled last week following the intervention of the Israeli ambassador in Bangkok.
The French ambassador responded that he needed to receive instructions from Paris, and within hours got back to Roded saying that he had been told to make an official appeal to Thailand's Foreign Ministry.
The pair's joint appeal worked and on Wednesday evening the Phuket governor told Roded that he had been ordered not to allow the show to take place.
In January last year, Dieudonné was arrested and interrogated after posting a Facebook message following the Charlie Hebdo and Jewish supermarket attacks in Paris, in which he appeared to suggest approval of the terror incidents.
