ON THE LESE MAJESTE IN THAILAND
Thailand has some of the most severe lese majeste laws in the world.
But, often, the governement used it against opponents or newspapers which critized him. One of the best exemple is the Thaksin action against the very respected Far Eastern Economic Review.
The king himself is worry of the abuses under his name. For instance, in his annual birthday speech in 2005, he has indicaded that lese majeste laws put him in a tough spot.
