The walls are closing in on Thai journos | Bangkok Post: opinion


More and more people have been arrested or faced charges for expressing their thoughts, sharing information or reporting facts. He faces 10 lese majeste and CCA charges which could put him away for 150 years if he is found guilty on all counts. In doing so, the state has used a combination of the CCA and the defamation or lese majeste laws which, as a result, stiffens the penalties. Even though talking about these cases won't put me in jail, I still feel like the walls are closing in on me. Whenever I post messages and share information on my Facebook page, I apply the same level of caution.
