Talk:Lèse majesté
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Having witnessed two foreign media professionals in the recent past being ostracized by the Thai government with the nod of the general public, it was a shock to be subject, myself, of a charge of lese majesty. This time, however, it was not the government complaining, but a private Thai citizen with an axe to grind and vested interests to protect.

Yes, a Danish man was arrested recently in thailand. However, this is likely to change as the king spoke against it prior to this case during his birthday mass. [1]

[edit] Sulak Sivaraksa found not guilty of lese-majesty
I've noted that Sulak Sivaraksa only allegedly committed lese-majesty. He was aquitted in court.Patiwat 10:46, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Title of article
I would have thought that even just in English lèse majesté is a lot more common than lese majesty: I've never even seen lese majesty before, and I'm pretty well-read. - Jmabel | Talk 05:36, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
- Google supports your belief, with almost 200,000 hits for lèse majesté and only 33,000 for lese majesty. I'd be ok with renaming the article as long as lese majesty still redirects to it.--Alabamaboy 15:15, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
