For any readers who didn't know:

According to the latest newspaper reports, the police have ordered an investigation into the posters of Internet comments complaining about the court's decision in regards to the latest sentencing of the 3 Election guys.

If they really take this matter seriously, a Thai writer wrote "Some big forums in Thailand could be severely in trouble too for allowing posters to comment criticism and not clamp down"

You can get away with writing & talking about lots of different subjects in Thailand but Thai law is very strict about........criticizing a judge's decision. Unfortunately, this is one law which a lot of people fail to notice and take no care about - includes both Thais and foreigners.

I have met many many Foreigners who live here and complain about such things, but i try to advise them to "Keep your mouth closed" The same goes for posting any criticism whatsoever on the Internet.
