Thai woman awaits verdict in royal-insult trial

AlJazeeraEnglish — Tue, 29 May 2012 05:52:01 +0000

	Thai woman awaits verdict in royal-insult trial A Thai woman is facing 20 years in jail for comments posted online criticising the Thai king, who is revered as God in the Southeast Asian country. Chiranuch Premchaiporn, a web master, was initially arrested in 2009, charged with being too slow to remove 10 comments from a forum on her website. The postings were made by other people, but under tough computer crime laws enacted after the military coup in 2006, the website's host can also be prosecuted. Chiranuch's verdict was delayed by a month because the judge needed more time. The Thai royal family is, by law, above criticism. Anyone who is caught breaking the rules is more often than not, thrown in jail. Earlier this month, an elderly man died less than six months into a 20-year prison sentence for sending four text messages that were deemed insulting to the monarchy. The death of Amphon Tangnoppakul, also known as Uncle SMS, has shone a light on the country's strict lese majeste laws, legal stipulations which criminalise the violation of the royal family and which were designed to prevent criticism of them. Family members of prisoners, also a growing portion of the public, are trying to push for changes to the lese majeste laws. Yingluck Shinawtra, the Thai prime minister, admitted to Al Jazeera in a recent interview that the law is sometimes misused. Al Jazeera's Wayne Hay says from Bangkok.

The Leadership Conference of Women Religious, has come under fire by Rome for among other things, staying "silent" amid what the Catholic Church called a "lively debate" over the issues of abortion and same-sex marriage in the United States.

	US veterans mark 50 years since Vietnam This Memorial Day will mark the 50th anniversary of the end of the 10-year-long US operation in Vietnam, which led to the deaths of 58000 American soldiers. In a speech to mark the occasion, Barack Obama, the US president, called Vietnam one of the most painful chapters in the nation's history. He also noted that, for the first time in nine years, there are no US soldiers fighting in Iraq. For some veterans and civilians, however, the continuing war in Afghanistan, the longest in US history, and the memories of the nine-year Iraq war, are still fresh and painful conflicts.
