Democratic activist Panupong Jadnok was given a three-year prison sentence for breaking the laws governing the Internet and Computer Crimes Act, and a warrant was issued for his arrest after he failed to show up in court for punishment.

The 28-year-old was given a four-year prison sentence by the Criminal Court on Wednesday, and his three-year sentence was reduced to three because of his assistance during the see exam.

According to Thai Lawyers for Human Rights, the accused was found guilty for a Facebook message posted on November 8, 2023.

The court claimed that the information violated the system law and insulted the monarchy, His Majesty the&nbsp, and King the&nbsp.

The Ratsadon group’s combined chief had refuted the allegations.

A couch warrant was issued for his arrest after he failed to appear in court for the hearing. &nbsp,

Due to the defendant’s second inability to show up in court for judgment, the decision was postponed until March 28. &nbsp,

Mike Rayong is a nickname for Panupong.
