A Thai court sentenced a political activist to two years in prison for insulting the monarchy
It is a crime in Thailand to defame or insult the King, queen, heir or regent, with punishments of up to 15 years in prison under what are among the world’s strictest “lese majeste” laws. Jatuporn “New” Saeoueng, 25, was found guilty of intentionally mocking the monarchy by her actions during a Bangkok street protest in 2020, according to her lawyer Krisadang Nutcharat.
Many interpreted her protest display as portraying the queen, whom three-times divorced King Vajiralongkorn married days before his official 2019 coronation. “Jatuporn has denied the charges all along and said she puts on traditional Thai dress normally,” Krisadang said. “But the court sees it as mockery and defamatory towards the monarchy,” he said, adding that his client, who is transgender, would appeal the ruling. She was sentenced to serve in a women’s prison.
