Jatuporn Sae Ung, an activist who was found guilty of impersonating Her Majesty the Queen at a 2020 show, was granted parole by the Supreme Court.

Jatuporn, a member of the Buri Ram Plod Ak ( Free Buri Ram ) group, dressed up like the Queen during a protest in the Silom area of Bangkok on Oct 29, 2020, calling for reform of the royal institution.

She was first given a three-year expression by and fined 1, 500 baht. The appeal court reduced the okay to 1,000 baht and the word to two times.
