A pro-democracy activist and lawyer, Arnon Nampa, has been sentenced to 4 years in prison following his remarks about the Thai monarchy in an October 2020 protest.


Yesterday, September 26th, the Criminal Court on Ratchadaphisek Road held a hearing for a case where Arnon was accused of defaming the royal institution during a protest against the Prayut Chan-o-cha government on October 14th, 2022 in Bangkok.

 

Arnon, 39, who is also a lawyer from Thai Lawyers for Human Rights, also faced charges regarding the violation of the Emergency Decree which banned public gatherings during the coronavirus pandemic.
