Surely a lot of people must go in jail in Thailand, for a lot of reasons. But when a country put the protesters and politic opponents in jail, it's a dictatorship. #1, are you sure it's normal to put a guy in jail because he is an editor of magazine?

Is it just me, or did this article actually get shorter over the course of the evening? If that were possible, of course.

Interesting to note the progress of Somyos from "Sunday Only Peaceful Protester" months ago to suddenly blocking part of Ratchprasong a couple of weeks ago to then becoming "Khun Super Aggressive".
