Somyot Prueksakasemsuk
Somyot Prueksakasemsuk ((タイ語:สมยศ พฤกษาเกษมสุข)) is a Thai activist and magazine editor who in 2013 was sentenced to eleven years' imprisonment for lese majeste against King Bhumibol Adulyadej. His sentence drew protest from the European Union and from numerous human rights groups, including Amnesty International, which designated him a prisoner of conscience.
== Lese majeste incident ==
Somyot is a member of the "red shirts", a movement supporting former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra; Thaksin was removed from power in 2006 by a coup d'état.〔 In 2010, Somyot, then the editor of the magazine ''Voice of Thaksin'', published two articles under a pseudonym critical of a fictional character interpreted by the court as representing King Bhumibol Adulyadej. The magazine later went out of business.〔
Somyot was arrested and imprisoned without bail for nearly two years. On 23 January 2013, the Criminal Court of Thailand convicted him of lese majeste and sentenced to a total of eleven years in prison: one year for a suspended sentence for a defamation charge, and five years each for the two counts of violating Article 112, the lese majeste law.〔 The judge stated, "The accused is a journalist who had a duty to check the facts in these articles before publishing them. He knew the content defamed the monarchy but allowed their publication anyway".〔 Somyot's lawyer said following the verdict that Somyot would appeal, adding: "I can confirm that he did not intend to violate Article 112 ... He was doing his job as a journalist."〔
The presiding judge in Somyot's case was Judge Chanathip Mueanphawong (ชนาธิป เหมือนพะวงศ์). Judge Chanathip has also been in charge of many lèse majesté cases, including the case of Ampon Tangnoppakul or Uncle SMS in which the judge sentenced Ampon to 20 years in prison, the case of Surachai Danwattananusorn who was sentenced to imprisonment for five years and six months, and the case of Chiranuch Premchaiporn who was given a suspended sentence of one-year imprisonment on grounds of failing to remove lèse majesté comments on her website.
