Lese majeste and political repression

CIVICUS has a useful summary of recent political repression and lese majeste cases. It begins:

Thailand’s civic space is rated as ‘repressed’ by the CIVICUS Monitor. Scores of individuals including activists have been charged or convicted for … lèse-majesté … and given harsh sentences for their speeches and social posts critical of the monarchy. Some were denied bail. Censorship was also documented, and protesters have also been targeted with arrest and prosecution.

As PPT continues updating its lists of 112 cases, this account is well worth considering.
