reader Posted December 13, 2023 Posted December 13, 2023 From The Nation Rukchanok Srinork, a Move Forward Party MP for Bangkok, was convicted on two counts of lese majeste and sentenced to six years in jail at the Criminal Court on Wednesday. Rukchanok was detained immediately after the verdict was read at the court on Ratchadapisek Road. Move Forward Party leader Chaithawat Tulathon said he would seek her release on bail pending an appeal against the ruling. Rukchanok was accused of twice violating Article 112 (the lese majeste law) and also breaching the Computer Crime Act for acts during the period from July 18 to August 9 last year. She was charged with posting messages about the Covid-19 vaccine that showed contempt and hatred towards HM the King. Rukchanok pleaded innocent to the charges. Rukchanok was elected MP for Bang Bon in Bangkok at the May 14 election, earning the title of “giant-killer” after beating Pheu Thai heavyweight Wan Ubumrung in the poll. alvnv 1 Quote

In posting an article such as this, it would be nice to have more background as to what she posted. Otherwise, no way to form an opinion. Quote
