2After being detained for 21 months and denied bail 12 times, activist Somyot Prueksakasemsuk was found guilty by the Bangkok Criminal Court of violating the Lese Majeste (anti-royal insult) law.Taorian'ny nitazonana azy nandritra ny 21 volana sy ny tsy namelana azy hahazo fahafahana vonjimaika in-12 misesy dia nomelohin'ny Fitsarana Ady Heloka Bevava ao Bangkok ho nanitsakitsaka ny lalàna tamin'ny fanivaivana ny Manjaka ny mpikatroka Somyot Prueksakasemsuk.

4Piangtawan Phanprasit made an unofficial English translation of the summary verdict:Namoaka dika an-tsoratra amin'ny teny anglisy tsy ofisialy ny fehin'ny didim-pitsarana i Piangtawan Phanprasit:
5The contents of the articles are thus acts of defaming, insulting and threatening His Majesty the King.Ahitana fanaratsiana, fanompana ary fandrahonana ny Mpanjaka ny votoatin'ny lahatsoratra maro navoakany.
6That the defendant published, distributed and disseminated the articles is hence indicative of the intent to defame, insult and threaten His Majesty in violation of Section 112 of the Penal Code.Fa ny famoahana, fampielezana ary ny fanapariahana ny lahatsoratra dia efa ahafaha-manondro ny fikasana hanaratsy, hanompa ary handrahona ny Mpanjaka ka efa manitsaka ny Fehezan-dalàna andininy faha 112.
7The publication of two issues at different times constitutes two different offences.Ny famoahana lahatsoratra roa amin'ny fotoana roa samihafa dia efa manorina fanitsakitsakana roa samihafa.
8The verdict stunned human rights organizations and global media groups which immediately condemned the court's ruling as an attack on free speech.Nampiraingiraingy ny fikambanana mpiaro ny zon'olombelona sy ny vondro-gazety lehibe izany didim-pitsarana izany ka niampangany avy hatrany ny didim-pitsarana ho toy ny famelezana ny fahalalaham-pitenenana.
9Bangkok Pundit links to an article which noted that the Somyot case was the third Lese Majeste conviction in the past month:Napetrak'i Bangkok Pundit ny rohy manamarika fa ity raharaha Somyot ity no fahatelo iampangana ny fanivaivana ny Mpanjaka nandritra ny volana lasa:
10Well, despite the fewer cases and last year being a relatively “good” year in regards to the number of people receiving custodial sentences for lese majeste offences, this is the 3rd conviction in the last month.Eny fa na dia nihavitsy aza ny raharaha ary azo heverina ho taona “tsara” ihany ny 2012 raha jerena ny isan'ny olona voaheloka ho nanao fanivaivana Mpitondra, dia ity no fanintelony nitranga tamin'ny volana lasa.
11Lese majeste is back on the agenda for now (at least).Nipongatra indray ankehitriny (farafaharatsiny) ny raharaham-panivaivana Mpanjaka.
12This is a lese majeste conviction for an insult or defamatory statement and not a threatFanivaivana ho nanompa na nanaratsy mpitondra fa tsy fandrahonana

17Saksith Saiyasombut recognized the significance of the student protest against the controversial law:Mahalala ny dikan'ny hetsiky ny mpianatra manohitra ilay lalàna mampiady hevitra i Saksith Saiyasombut:
18This is quite remarkable, since students (or young people in general) are not really publicly perceived as being politically interested and active (unlike in the past).Mahatalanjona ihany rehefa ny mpianatra (na ny tanora amin'ny ankapobeny) no heverina ho tsy liana na mazoto loatra amin'ny resaka politika (tahaka ny taloha).
19And Thammasat University struggling with itself over their stance towards Lese MajesteAry mitolona manokana amin'ny fijeriny momba ny fanivaivana mpanjaka ny ao amin'ny Oniversite Thammasat
20While the chances for an actual legal change of the lèse majesté law are still unlikely thanks to an unwilling government - despite their red shirt voter base - all these stories show that the public discourse over lèse majesté is very much still alive and ongoing.Raha heverina ho tsy azo vinavinaina noho ny tsy fahazotoan'ny governemanta hanao izany ny isian'ny fiovàn-dalàna momba ny fanivaivàna mpanjaka - na dia manana ireo mpifidy azy ao amin'ny Mena Akanjo aza izy - ireo tantara rehetra ireo no mampiseho fa momba velona sy mandeha tsara ny adi-hevitry ny olona momba ny fanivaivàna mpanjaka (lèse majesté).
21Ratch, writing for the Red Shirts blog, hints that Somyot might be eligible to receive an amnesty from the government:Ratch, izay manoratra ao amin'ny bilaogin'ny Mena Akanjo, dia te-hilaza fa mety hahazo amnistia (famotsora-keloka) avy amin'ny governemanta i Somyot:
22Considering the political nature of Somyot's case, the UDD hopes that the proposed draft amnesty decree would be applicable to him.Raha jerena ny fidiran'ny resaka politika amin'ity raharaha Somyot ity, dia manantena ny UDD fa azo ampiharina aminy ny volavolan-dalàna momba ny famotsora-keloka.
23The draft decree stipulates that “all persons who have been charged of committing any crime stemming from the political conflict between 1 January 2006 to 31 December 2012″ should be freed immediately.Voalazan'ny drafi-pehezan-dalàna fa “ny olona rehetra izay voaheloka noho ny resaka politika rehetra hatramin'ny nisian'ny fifandonana ara-politika tamin'ny 1 Janoary 2006 ka hatramin'ny 31 Desambra 2012″ dia tokony avotsotra avy hatrany.
24Cross Cultural Foundation recommends the reform of Article 112 which is often described as the world's harshest Lese Majeste measure:Manisika amin'ny hanaovana fanitsiana ny andininy faha-112 izay fariparitana matetika ho fepetra henjana indrindra manerantany eo amin'ny sehatra fanivaivàna ny ao amin'ny Cross Cultural Foundation:
25The government should make an attempt to have the Penal Code's Article 112 amended making it become more appropriate and proportionate to a democratic system and in compliance with Thailand's international obligation regarding Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).Tokony hiezaka hanao izay hanitsiana ny Fehezan-dalàna faha-112 hifandraika kokoa amin'ny rafitra demokratika ary mifanaraka kokoa amin'ny adidin'i Thailand hanaja ny andininy faha-19 amin'ny Dina iraisampirenena momba ny zo ara-tsivily sy ara-politika.
26In particular, the penalties should be adjusted to make them reflect genuine severity of the offence.Tokony ahitsy hifanaraka amin'ny fahenjanan'ny fandikan-dalàna ny fanasaziana.
27The preservation of the monarchy cannot be made possible by the enforcement of draconian and undemocratic law.Tsy ho tontosa ao anatin'ny fampiharana lalàna mavesatra loatra sy tsy mifanaraka amin'ny demokrasia ny fiarovana ny fitondram-panjaka.

30Holger Grafen makes an unofficial translation of the speech of Dr. Tul Sittisomwong who is supportive of Thailand's Lese Majeste law:Nadikan'i Holger Grafen tsy amin'ny fomba ofisialy ny kabarin'ny Dr. Tul Sittisomwong izay manohana ny fampiharana ny lalàna misahana ny fanivaivàna ny mpanjaka ao Thailand:
31In Thai society we think that if someone who defame, insult, threaten the king is not acceptable in this society.Isika ato amin'ny fiaraha-monina Thai no mihevitra fa tsy azo leferina izany olona manaratsy, manompa ary mandrahona mpanjaka izany.
32And we state something that the imprisonment is higher than the past, 3 up to 15 years, to tell is high penalty, please not to do it.Ary isika no milaza fa avo kokoa noho ny taloha ny fanagadrana, 3 ka hatramin'ny 15 taona, ilazana ny havesany, miangavy tsy hanao izany.
33So, that's the point.Izao izany no izy.
34It's not only Somyot case.Tsy resaka raharaha Somyot ihany.
35It is everybody who defame, insult or threaten the king, the queen.Izay rehetra manaratsy, manompa na mandrahona ny mpanjaka, ny mpanjakavavy.
36Why, why the Thai people or Thai society accept that is not about the human right, is not about freedom of expression.Nahoana, nahoana ny vahoaka na fiaraha-monina Thai no manaiky fa tsy resaka zon'olombelona io, tsy resaka fahalalaham-pitenenana.
37Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch, describes the ruling as a blow to free expression rights:Brad Adams, Talen'ny Human Rights Watch ao Azia, manazavazava ny didy ho fanapoahana ny zo hiteny malalaka:
38The courts seem to have adopted the role of chief protector of the monarchy at the expense of free expression rightsTahaka ny maka ny andraikitry ny fitarihana ny fiarovana ny fitondram-panjaka ka lasa manohintohina ny zo hiteny malalaka ny didim-pitsarana
39The court's ruling appears to be more about Somyot's strong support for amending the lese majeste law than about any harm incurred by the monarchy.Tarataratra ho mirona kokoa ho amin'ny fanitsiana ny lalàna momba ny fanivaivàna ny mpanjaka ny didim-pitsarana eo amin'ny raharaha Somyot miohatra amin'izay mety ho fahavoazana manjò ny fiandrianana.
