Bangkok police will summon woman to acknowledge a charge of indecent exposure for undressing in public, during a protest by the anti-government “Talufah” group at Nang Lerng intersection, near Government House on Tuesday.

 

Pol Maj-Gen Piya Tavichai, deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, said today (Wednesday) that the woman, identified as Worawan Sae Aung, aka “Pa Pao”, could face a fine of up to 5,000 baht if convicted, in accordance with Section 388 of the Criminal Code, for undressing in public to protest against the alleged harsh handling of the protesters.

 

He said that nine protesters were arrested in the Nang Lerng area of the capital, following a clash with anti-riot police, as they tried to break through a razor wire barricade to get to Government House, to demand the ouster of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha.

It is a pity there isn't a modern day Oliver Cromwell!!!

You think other countries wouldn't charge someone for getting naked in public?

 

As an aside, it's not actually unusual to have some laws still in use from a long time ago.  English common law actually still uses judgements from hundreds of years ago.
