Another journalist has fallen foul of the law which prevents any criticism of the monarchy

Prachati.com web editor is now out on bail after she was accused of the said crime.She was arrested for allowing comments on the website which the police deemed as offensive to the monarchy.

Source-Global voices online which reports that

More than 20 pages on Prachatai have been blocked by authorities in the last five months. The arrested editor has been summoned by the police for eight times already to answer questions about the content of the website
