泰国网编未删冒犯王室评论获刑
<p>泰国一家政治网站的主编因为没有及时删除对王室不敬的评论而被判入狱8个月，缓期执行，同时还被判处2万泰铢（约合人民币4000元）的罚款。据悉，这位主编以计算机犯罪罪名被起诉，原因是该网站有十条对王室不敬的评论流传了20天，法官认为主编没有及时履行职责。泰国的“冒犯君主法”为保护王室而制定，最高处罚刑期可达20年，但一直被批评人士认为是政府企图控制言论自由的手段。此前曾有一名60岁的男子因发送对王室不敬的短信而被判入狱20年。这名男子于本月初在狱中死亡，再一次引发了人们对于“冒犯君王法”的讨论。本周二，泰国2.7万人签名递交请愿书，要求泰国议会对该法进行改革。</p><p><span word="An">An</span> <span word="editor">editor</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="Thai">Thai</span> <span word="political">political</span> <span word="website">website</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="been">been</span> <span word="given">given</span> <span word="an">an</span> <span word="eight">eight</span>-<span word="month">month</span> <span word="suspended">suspended</span> <span word="sentence">sentence</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="failing">failing</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="remove">remove</span> <span word="comments">comments</span> <span word="deemed">deemed</span> <span word="insulting">insulting</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="monarchy">monarchy</span>.</p><p><span word="Chiranuch">Chiranuch</span> <span word="Premchaiporn">Premchaiporn</span> <span word="had">had</span> <span word="faced">faced</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="to">to</span> 20 <span word="years">years</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="jail">jail</span> <span word="over">over</span> <span word="the">the</span> 10 <span word="posts">posts</span>, <span word="by">by</span> <span word="other">other</span> <span word="people">people</span>, <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Prachatai">Prachatai</span> <span word="website">website</span>.</p><p><span word="The">The</span> <span word="judge">judge</span> <span word="said">said</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="verdict">verdict</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="based">based</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="comment">comment</span> <span word="left">left</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="site">site</span> <span word="for">for</span> 20 <span word="days">days</span>.</p><p><span word="The">The</span> <span word="case">case</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="been">been</span> <span word="seen">seen</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="test">test</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="freedom">freedom</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="expression">expression</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="Thailand">Thailand</span>, <span word="amid">amid</span> <span word="debate">debate</span> <span word="about">about</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="use">use</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="laws">laws</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="ban">ban</span> <span word="criticism">criticism</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="monarchy">monarchy</span>.</p><p><span word="Ms">Ms</span> <span word="Premchaiporn">Premchaiporn</span>, <span word="convicted">convicted</span> <span word="under">under</span> <span word="computer">computer</span> <span word="crimes">crimes</span> <span word="law">law</span>, <span word="was">was</span> <span word="given">given</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="one">one</span>-<span word="year">year</span> <span word="suspended">suspended</span> <span word="sentence">sentence</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="immediately">immediately</span> <span word="reduced">reduced</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="eight">eight</span> <span word="months">months</span>. <span word="She">She</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="also">also</span> <span word="fined">fined</span> 20,000 <span word="baht">baht</span> ($625).</p>
