Online news:

The Constitution Court on Wednesday ruled that Article 112 of the Criminal Code, the lese majeste law, is constitutional.

The ruling was made following a request by Somyos Prueksakasemsuk and Ekachai Hongkangwan, defendants in lese majeste cases.

The request, submitted through the Criminal Court, asked the Constitution Court to rule whether Article 112 of the Criminal Code contradicts Sections 3, 8, 29 and 45 of the constitution.

It may well be constitional. That does not make it just. It merely proves the current (and all former) Thai constitutions grossly unjust and at odds with: basic deomcratic principles; with reason; and indeed with even the possibility of balanced, well-founded opinion on some topics.

When the constitution allows the law to enforce ignorance on topics of great public interest, something is seriously rotten.
