Sulak to be hit with more charges
Prominent social critic Sulak Sivaraksa may be facing a third lese-majeste charge, this time over an interview on the role of the monarchy for Fah Diew Kan ("Same Sky") magazine.
A group of people calling themselves the People's Network for Nation, Religion and Monarchy, led by Sathien Vipromha, filed a complaint yesterday against Sulak and Thanaphol Eiwsakul, the magazine's editor. The controversial issue of the magazine came out in October, and Thanaphol has denied publishing any remarks which could be construed as lese majeste. Sathien, a lecturer in the Faculty of Social Science at Mahamongkut Rajavidhayalai University, said he found the interview disrespectful of the monarchy and would have to have recourse to the law.
