The Supreme Court has upheld an appeal court ruling sentencing political activist Yoswaris Chuklom, known as “Jeng Dokjig”, to five years and four months in prison and Suksek Poltue to life imprisonment, in a case tied to political violence during the 2010 protests.

THE recent court verdict against two men accused of possessing unregistered guns during a deadly anti-government rally in Bangkok in April 2010 has confirmed claims that armed “men in black” were among the red-shirt protesters.
