The Supreme Court granted bail to activist Jatuporn Sae Ung, who was found guilty of impersonating Her Majesty the Queen during a 2020 demonstration.
Thai Lawyers for Human Rights said on Wednesday the court granted Jatuporn, 25, bail after she appealed an Appeal Court ruling on Monday sentencing her to a two-year prison term and a 1,000-baht fine for breaching Section 112 of the Criminal Code, known as the lese majeste law.
Jatuporn, a member of the Buri Ram Plod Ak (Free Buri Ram) group, dressed up like the Queen during a protest in the Silom area of Bangkok on Oct 29, 2020, calling for reform of the royal institution.
