Bangkok:The court has upheld the four-year prison sentence for Anon Nampa in the Section 112 case, increasing his total sentence across all cases to 34 years.
According to Thai News Agency, the Criminal Court on Ratchadaphisek Road was set to hear the Appeal Court's verdict concerning Mr. Anon Nampa, a human rights lawyer and a prominent leader of the People's Movement 2020. He faced prosecution under Section 112 of the Criminal Code and Section 14 (3) of the Computer Crime Act. The charges stemmed from three Facebook posts in 2021, in which he criticized the enforcement of Section 112 against monarchy critics and called for reforms.
Previously, the lower court had sentenced Anon to four years in prison, with no suspension of the sentence. The Appeals Court has recently confirmed this ruling, maintaining the four-year sentence. Consequently, Mr. Anon's total prison time, considering all previous sentences, now amounts to 34 years and 5 months.
