CHONBURI — A man was hauled out of his bedroom by a mob Tuesday, beaten and forced to apologize to a portrait of His Majesty the Late King for allegedly posting content defaming the monarchy on social media.

 

It was a scene that has played out in the past week in several provinces, where vigilantes have assaulted or harassed individuals accused of insulting King Bhumibol, the widely revered monarch who died at 88 on Thursday. Many of the incidents were filmed and spread on social media, drawing further condemnation of the victims.
