Newtalk新聞 泰國人權律師阿農（Arnon Nampa）2020年扮成電影「哈利波特」主角，公開呼籲改革王室制度，面臨冒犯君主罪訴訟。曼谷刑事法院最近再判處阿農及另外4名被告各2年8個月徒刑，使阿農累計刑期高達38年。 曼谷郵報（Bangkok Post）報導，刑事法院於10月29日針對一起冒犯君主罪案件作出判決，知名人權律師阿農及另外4名被告各被判處4年徒刑，法院考量被告的陳述對審理有所幫助，減刑1/3，最終各判處2年8個月，且不得緩刑。 這起案件只是針對阿農的14起冒犯君主罪案件之一，另有兩起案件的判決仍在等待中。若連同其他已判決案件，阿農累計刑期達到38年。 2020年泰國學運風起雲湧，抗議學生主張改革王室，震撼泰國社會。 阿農是2020年泰國學生運動浪潮的關鍵人物之一，他是第1個公開在抗議活動中說出要改革王室的民運人士，也親自參與多場要求王室改革的示威活動。 10月29日的判決涉及2020年一場在曼谷恰圖恰區（Chatuchak）暹羅商業銀行（Siam Commercial Bank）總部外舉行的示威活動，約有2000人參與。示威者要求時任總理帕拉育（Prayut Chan-o-cha）下台、修改憲法及改革王室制度。 BBC報導，當時阿農扮演成電影「哈利波特」主角發表演說，呼籲公開討論王室的權力與財富，並批評泰王瓦吉拉隆功（King Maha Vajiralongkorn）接管原由王室資產管理局（CPB）管理的大筆資產及軍隊中的重要部隊。 曼谷郵報指出，法院認為，檢方證人的證詞一致且可信，被告提出的辯護證據不足以推翻指控，並認定被告行為已超出憲法保障的集會自由範圍。 泰國有全世界最嚴厲的冒犯君主罪，刑法第112條規定，任何人誹謗、侮辱或威脅國王、王后、王儲或攝政王，最高可判處15年有期徒刑。延伸閱讀：何欣純化身陸戰鐵人拚了！一天連跑七場挺台中隊催票加速拚捷運東海大學喜迎71週年校慶！校友豪捐億元建半導體大樓、四中研院士回母校任教中國製造業景氣再陷緊縮！10月PMI跌至49.3% 中小型企業與房地產持續承壓百萬網友關注高雄市長辯論 柯志恩脫稿插曲再掀爭議菲防長特奧多羅鬆口有意角逐2028總統大選 對中強硬立場再成焦點
