BANGKOK, Sept 19 — The Thai king’s son has called for open discussion of the country’s tough laws against insulting the royal family, a sensitive topic that has seen hundreds of people prosecuted in recent years.
The law — often referred to as 112 after the relevant section of the criminal code — shields the king and his close family from almost all criticism and can carry heavy jail sentences. Huge protests in 2020 saw thousands urging reform of the laws, a call championed by the progressive Move Forward Party that won the most seats in a national election in May.
The “Faces of Victims of 112” show at Columbia University was organised by exiled Thai royal academic Pavin Chachavalpongpun, who confirmed to AFP that Vacharaesorn had attended as a guest.
