Appeals Court upholds 12-month jail term against Arisman

The Court of Appeals Tuesday upheld the Criminal Court's sentence of 12 months in jail against red-shirt leader Arisman Pongruangrong who was convicted in defaming former prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva in his rally speeches on October 11 and 17 2009.

The court declined to suspend the jail term on ground that Arisman mentioned His Majesty the King in the defamation speeches as well.
