The South Bangkok Criminal Court Monday jailed six leaders of the Assembly of the Poor and Democratic Alliance Against Dictatorship for leading some 1,300 protesters to besiege the head office of the Nation Multimedia Group in 2006.
The court found the six guilty of using force to assault and force other to comply to their wish.
The six are Khamta Kaenboonchan, Attharit Singlor, Chupong Thithuan, Thanawit Palakawong, Shinawat Haboon, and Samrerng Adisa.
The court initially sentenced them to three years imprisonment and a fine of Bt180.
But the court commuted the jail term to 2 years on ground that they gave testimony deemed useful for the trial.
