Pongsak Sriboonpeng has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for saying something negative about the king of Thailand. The state refuses to tell us anything about what he said, so we should not suppose it was really harsh.

Not that it would be justified to imprison a person for a mere insult even if it were harsh.

I decided a couple of years ago not to go to Thailand ever again, mainly because I don't know whether I'd be imprisoned for this web site.
