Noppasilp – a schoolboy whose last name was withheld by his attorney for privacy reasons – and Jatuporn Sae Ung reported to the Yannawa police station in Bangkok after being summoned there, said Thai Lawyers for Human Rights (TLHR), a legal aid group that has been assisting anti-government protesters. “This is the first royal defamation case against a youth since last year,” Kumklao Songsomboon, a lawyer for TLHR, told the media. “In just a month’s time, the royal defamation law was not only used against the protester leaders, but a youth, who just exercised his freedom of expression.” ....
