Actor faces boycott after backing lese majeste law
An actor has alienated a huge section of the audience by expressing his political stand supporting Section 112 of the Criminal Code, or the lese majeste law.
Recently, Anuchyd “O” Sapanphong backed the draconian law via his Twitter account, adding, “please punish severely those who violate this law”.
His post was retweeted and shared several times on social media. Pro-democracy supporters reacted angrily, and even vowed to boycott his work. They also created a hashtag “แบนโออนุชิต” (Boycotting O Anuchyd) on social media.
Anuchyd was known for the movies "The Overture" (2004) and "Malila: The Farewell Flower" (2017).
