“Internet freedom remained severely restricted in Thailand as prodemocracy activists and journalists faced arrest, surveillance, extralegal harassment, and violent attacks in retaliation for their online content. Internet users continued to be charged with lèse-majesté, with some receiving heavy prison sentences for defaming the monarchy online.”

“We are alarmed at the heavy 50-year prison sentence handed down to Mr. Thirakot, which appears to be in retaliation for his political activism online and offline, and the expression of his opinion about the Thai Monarchy. We are concerned at what appears to be a systematic pattern of harassment and targeting against Mr. Thirakot as a result of him exercising his right to peaceful assembly online and offline and exercising his right to freedom of expression. We are also concerned that a third case against Mr. Thirakot is pending and may carry heavy penalties.”
