Anon Numpa was convicted under Thailand’s tough lese-majeste laws over a speech he made in 2020.
BANGKOK: A Thai court on Tuesday jailed one of the leading figures in the kingdom’s youth-led pro-democracy protest movement for four years on royal insult charges.
Anon Numpa was convicted under Thailand’s tough lese-majeste laws over a speech he made in Bangkok in 2020 at the height of the street demonstrations.

Bangkok’s Criminal Court ruled Tuesday that Anon’s speech at Democracy Monument amounted to lese-majeste, sentencing him to four years in prison.Subscribe to our newsletter and get news delivered to your mailbox.
