Play
A man who wrote a message defaming the monarchy on a toilet door at a shopping mall was sentenced to one and a half years in prison by the military court Friday.
Opas Chansuksai, 67, was found guilty after he confessed to his crime. The sentence was reduced by half – from three years to 18 months – because he confessed.
The man was arrested on October 15 last year at Seacon Square shopping mall by security guards, who found him writing the message on a toilet wall. He was earlier fined Bt2,000 by the mall.
