US citizen jailed for insulting Thai monarchy

By REUTERS
BANGKOK - A US citizen was jailed for two-and-a-half years on Thursday for insulting the Thai monarchy, prompting the US Embassy to speak out at the severity of the sentence and say it supported the freedom of expression everywhere in the world.
Thai-born Lerpong Wichaikhammat, 55, had pleaded guilty in October to using the Internet to disseminate information that insulted the monarchy, charges stemming from material posted on his blog in the United States, where he has citizenship.
He was arrested in May during a visit to Thailand.
