Man Jailed for 35 years for Facebook posts
A man from Thailand was jailed for 35 years after insulting the Thai monarchy through Facebook. The law in Thailand states that you are not allowed to insult ultra-rich monarchy. The man got a jail time of ten years per offence, the original sentence was seventy years but was cut down after he confessed to posting the comments. This is one of the most serious punishments ever for insulting the Thai monarchy. Personally, I think that punishment was a bit harsh seeing that it was only a Facebook post. Does the Thai monarchy even know about it? If they did I'm sure that they would get him released, that is way too harsh as a punishment!
