In this Oct 29, 2014 file photo, British human rights activist Andy Hall receives flowers from supporters as he turns up at the Phra Khanong Provincial Court. The legal victory for Andy Hall was welcomed by Amnesty International but is not necessarily the end of protracted court battles that forced him to leave Thailand in 2016. It employed migrant workers from Myanmar who said the company abused them and broke labour regulations. Sunya Joongdee, a lawyer for Hall, said Thursday's court ruling dismissed the criminal defamation case, which also resulted in the collapse of a case under the computer crimes law. Hall was found guilty of criminal defamation in 2016, fined and given a suspended prison sentence.
