A Thai court on Tuesday sentenced a pro-democracy activist, who spearheaded an unprecedented movement calling for monarchy reform, to four years in prison on charges of breaking the country’s royal insult law.

The court said Arnon broke the law by making a speech calling for monarchy reform on Oct. 14, 2020, at a protest rally in the Thai capital.
