Prominent Thai activist and lawyer Arnon Nampa was sentenced to four years in prison on September 26, 2023, for what a court judge said were "royal insults". Nampa was convicted under Thailand’s tough lèse-majesté law over a 2020 speech he made in Bangkok at the height of street demonstrations by the youth-led pro-democracy movement, where he called for a reform of Thailand's powerful monarchy.
