Den stackaren kan inte ha blivit särskilt rik på sitt författarskap, endast sju ex hann säljas.
Anmälan om majestätsbrott verkar ha varit ett insiderjobb, vem hinner hitta de påståenden i boken som ledde till häktningen innan fler ex sålts?

Man får associationer till Salman Rushdie och hans bok “Satansverserna”.
Där blev det en dödsdom, men jag tror inte den är verkställd ännu…. Förresten är väl verkställigheten inhiberad numera.

Det finns frågetecken kring omständigheterna rörande trontillträdet som det spekulerats kring. Dessa spekulationer betraktas som grovt majestätsbrott i Thailand.

Nu vet jag inte om det är det här området som det handlar om i detta fall.

King pardons jailed Australian author
SYDNEY – His Majesty the King has pardoned and freed an Australian writer jailed for insulting the royal family, officials said Saturday.
Harry Nicolaides, 41, was arrested last August and held without bail until last month, when the Criminal Court sentenced him to three years in jail after he pleaded guilty to lese majeste, or defaming the monarchy.
The Australian government had lobbied intensely for a royal pardon, and Australia’s foreign affairs department said Nicolaides had been freed this week.
“I can confirm that the King of Thailand has granted a pardon to Mr Nicolaides,” a spokesman saod.
