Paul Chambers, an American lecturer of political science at northern Thailand’s Naresuan University, has been arrested after being accused of insulting the monarchy, a crime that carries up to 15 years in prison.
The 58-year-old academic from Oklahoma, who was arrested on Tuesday and produced in court in Phitsanulok province, was denied bail before his trial on charges under Thailand’s strict lese-majeste law and the Computer Crime Act, which regulates online speech.
His legal team is set to appeal the decision on Wednesday. No trial date has been set.
