A Thai court on Wednesday acquitted five anti-government protesters who were facing the death penalty on charges of attempted violence against the country's queen during a demonstration in 2020.The case stemmed from an event at the height of pro-democracy demonstrations in 2020, in which a motorcade carrying Queen Suthida was heckled as it drove past a group of protesters.Protesters had called for royal reform, including an amendment to the controversial lese majeste law, which punishes each perceived royal insult with up to 15 years in prison.
