Thailand jails activist over royal motorcade live streaming
Asia-Pacific2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reportedjust now
A Thai criminal court has sentenced 25-year-old activist Tantawan Tuatulanon to two years in prison for violating the country’s royal insult law. The conviction stems from a live stream she broadcast near a royal motorcade. Her legal counsel has announced intentions to appeal the court's decision.
The case has drawn attention to the broader application of Section 112, Thailand's strict royal defamation legislation. Protesters have frequently called for the abolition of this law and the release of political prisoners, including other activists who have faced similar charges under the statute.
