Man gets 10-year jail term for lese majesty
The Criminal Court Friday sentenced a man to ten year imprisonment for posting a picture deemed insulting the monarchy on a website.
Initially, Suwicha Thakho was sentenced to be jailed for 20 years but the court commuted the jail term by half after he pleaded guilty.
He was charged with violating Article 112 of the Criminal Code and violating the computer crime act.
The man wept upon learning of his sentence.
