7 | Jiew is facing 50 years in prison if found guilty. | Raha voaheloka i Jiew dia hiatrika famonjana mandritra ny 50 taona. |
8 | Thailand has strict Lèse majesté laws, and the country is aggressive in blocking websites which are deemed insulting to the monarchy. | Manana lalàna henjana momba ny fanivaivana Mpanjaka ny ao Thailand. Ary tena mahesisetra mihitsy amin'ny fanakànana ireo tranonkala heverina ho manivaiva ny mpanjaka. |

19 | Southeast Asia blog New Mandala has posted an interview with Jiew about her views on the state of media in Thailand: | New Mandala dia mandefa tafatafa iray niarahany tamin'i Jiew mikasika ny fomba fahitàny ny toerana misy ny fampahalalam-baovao ao Thailand |
20 | When we talk about press freedom in Thailand, it's quite controlled by the state and being manipulated by the entertainment business and the corporates. | Rehefa ny fahalalahana eto Thailand no resahantsika, dia tena arahan'ny fanjakana maso akaiky tokoa izy io ary lalaovin'ny sehatry ny dokam-barotra fialamboly sy ny fandraharahana. |
21 | If you talk about news and politics, we cannot show as much criticism, about what the government did, right or wrong. | Raha miresaka ny vaovao sy ny politika ianao, tsy afaka maneho fanakianana loatra izahay mikasika izay zavatra nataon'ny governemanta, na mety na tsia. |
22 | Most of the media in Thailand is owned by the military or by the state. | Ny ankamaroan'ireo fampahalalam-baovao ao Thailand dia saika an'ny tafika na ny fanjakana daholo. |
23 | This is a problem of ownership | Olan'ny fizakà-manana izany. |
24 | Thai Netizen Network is proposing an amendment to the Computer Crimes Act which is being used to stifle media freedom in the country: | Thai Netizen Network dia nandroso volavolam-panitsiana ny Lalàna momba ny Heloka Bevava Atao amin'ny alalan'ny Solosaina izay zary ampiasaina hanakendàna ny fahalalahan'ny fampitam-baovao |
25 | … as we saw that the enforcement of this law would result in depriving people's right to freedom of expression, which is fundamental for democracy. | … efa hitantsika fa ny fanmpiharana an'io lalàna io dia nitondra nakany amin'ny fanitsahana ny zon'ny olona hiteny malalaka, izay zo fototry ny demaokrasia. |
26 | Furthermore, this law contradicts the characteristics of the Internet in many aspects, thereby allowing abusive enforcement. | Ankoatr'izay, io lalàna io dia mifanipaka amin'ny lafiny maro amin'ny toetry ny aterineto, izay manome vahana ny fanararaotana tafahoatra. |
27 | However, the government has never realised and taken this issue seriously to amend this freedom-infringing law. | Na izany aza, tsy nahatsapa velively mihitsy ny governemanta ny amin'ny tokony hijerena amin'ny fomba matotra ilay olana ary hitondra fanitsiana amin'io lalàna manitsakitsaka ny fahalalahana io . |
