Bloomberg on 112 and Lèse-majesté

June 22, 2012 By Newley Leave a Comment

Bloomberg reports today:

For all the bickering among Thai political parties, they agree on one thing: Now isn’t the time to amend a law last changed in 1976 that has been used to shield the royal family from criticism.

Worth a read.
