Thai man jailed for 35 yrs for insulting monarchy on FB
A Thai man has been jailed for 35 years under the country's lese-majeste laws for Facebook posts deemed insulting to the royal family. The man, accused of using the account to slander a former friend, was initially sentenced to 70 years, but it was reduced by half after he confessed. Notably, lese-majeste suspects are rarely acquitted or granted bail.
