Is Thailand’s Article 112 Really “Archaic?”

Is Thailand’s Article 112 Really “Archaic?”

The West has attacked Thailand for years over what it claims is a “free speech” issue regarding so-called Thai “activists” being jailed for defaming, insulting, and threatening the Thai Monarchy.

I explain how the West uses the exact same laws to imprison people in their own society - in some cases for over 10 years - and how their “concerns” regarding Thailand’s internal affairs is politically motivated rather than “principled” in any way.
