Dozens protests sentencing under Thailand's strict lese-majeste law, which makes it a crime to defame, insult or threaten the royal family
Thailand sentenced two students to jail on Monday for two-and-a-half years for insulting the monarchy in a university play, in a case which drew dozens of activists to a protest outside the court in defiance of a ban on demonstrations.
The country has been under martial law since a May coup. The convictions come amid anxiety over the health of ailing King Bhumibol Adulyadej, 87, and the issue of royal succession.
