By Phongsatorn Tancharoen
My name is Phongsatorn “Boy” Tancharoen. I’m 19 years old. I’m a sophomore at the College of Politics and Governance, Maha Sarakham University. I’m a political activist, member of the MSU Democracy Front, and one of those charged with defaming, insulting or threatening the King, the Queen, the Heir-apparent or the Regent according to the Section 112, resulting from the Nov. 25 protest in front of Siam Commercial Bank headquarters in Bangkok. I’d like to express my feeling as I’m being unjustly charged with this offence.
On the morning of Dec. 17, my phone rang, showing an unknown number. A police officer was on the other end, telling me to come receive a warrant at the Khwaoyai Police Station [in Bangkok]. As soon as I hung up, I started bracing myself for a new criminal case landing onto my lap.
Actually, before I was served, a well-wisher…
