1 | Thai Activist Editor Gets 11-Year Jail Term for ‘Insulting’ King | Mpikatroka Sady Tonian-dahatsoratra Thailandey Voasazy Higadra 11 Taona An-tranomaizina |
2 | The packed courtroom in Bangkok, Thailand was in shock following the Criminal Court's verdict of 11 years imprisonment for labor rights activist and editor of Voice of Taksin, Somyot Prueksakasemsuk for lese majeste (royal insult) crimes. | Tao anatin'ny efitranom-pitsarana hiboka olona tao Bangkok, tafintohina, sosotra tanteraka ireo thailandey taorian'ny didy fanamelohana higadra 11 taona an-tranomaizina navoakan'ny Fitsarana Heloka Bevava ho an'ilay mpikatroka ny zon'ny mpiasa sady tonian-dahatsoratra ao amin'ny Voice of Taksin, Somyot Prueksakasemsuk noho ny heloka fanevatevana mpanjaka. |
3 | The shock was both regarding the guilty verdict, but even more so because of the severity of the sentence. | Tsy noho ny didy manameloka azy ihany no tena nahatonga ny fahasosorana fa noho ny hamafin'ny sazy ihany koa. |
4 | While the maximum punishment for violating lese majeste laws is 15 years, previous cases involved shorter prison sentences. | Raha tokony ho 15 taona an-tranomaizina no sazy farany ambony indrindra amin'ny fanevatevana mpanjaka, sazy an-tranomaizina mandritra ny fotoana fohy no navoaka taminà raharaham-pitsarana teo aloha. |
5 | Somyot was not so lucky and was slapped with 5 years sentence for each crime, two counts in total, plus an additional year for the now cancelled 1-year suspended sentence he received in 2009 (for a different charge). | Tsy mba nahazo izany anefa i Somyot, fa voaheloka higadra 5 taona isak'ireo fiampangana azy, izay miisa roa, ary miampy herintaona an-tranomaizina tamin'ny sazy mihantona azony tamin'ny 2009 (fiampangana hafa) izay tsy maintsy mihatra avy hatrany ankehitriny. |

8 | This is a real disappointment for Somyot, who was reportedly optimistic that he would be found innocent because he believed he did not commit any crime. | Diso fanantenana tanteraka i Somyot, nanantena izy fa ho afaka madiodio satria nihevitra izy fa tsy nanao heloka. |
9 | Prachatai reportsthat Somyot's friend inside the Thai prison, where Somyot has been detained for more than 20 months, revealed that Somyot was hoping the Court would uphold ‘justice' and ‘do the right thing.' | Araka ny tatitra avy amin'i Prachatai, nanambara ny naman'i Somyot izay migadra ao amin'ny fonja ao Thailandy, fonja nitazomana an'i Somyot nandritra ny 20 volana mahery, fa nanantena i Somyot fa hampihatra ny marina ny Fitsarana ary hitsara ara-drariny.' |
10 | His lawyer will appeal against the sentence and seek bail. | Nampiakatra ny raharaha eny anivon'ny fitsarana ambony ny mpisolo vavany ary hangataka famotsorana amin'ny fandoavana onitra. |
11 | Somyot's optimism stems from the nature of his crimes. | Noho ny votoatin'ny fiampangana azy no mahatonga an'i Somyot ho be fanantenana. |
12 | Somyot was the editor of a political magazine, Voice of Taksin (banned in 2010), which published two articles in 2010 that was deemed to have violated lese majeste laws. | Lehiben'ny tonian-dahatsoratra amin'ny gazetiboky politika, Voice of Taksin (boky efa voaràra tamin'ny taona 2010) i Somyot, izay namoaka lahatsoratra roa voalaza fa nanitsakitsaka lalàna momba ny fanajana mpanjaka tamin'ny taona 2010. |
13 | He was formally charged in 2011, refused bail 12 times and finally convicted on January 23, 2013. | Niakatra fitsarana izy tamin'ny taona 2011, ary nolavina in-12 ny fangatahany famotsorana mandoa onitra ka voaheloka ihany izy tamin'ny 23 Janoary 2013. |
14 | The articles were published under pseudonyms and made no direct mention of the monarchy. | Tamin'ny alalan'ny solon'anarana (pseudonyme) no namoahana ireo lahatsoratra ary tsy voalaza mivantana tao ny momba ny fitondram-panjaka. |
15 | However, the court believed that it was clear to whom the articles were referring and that as a senior editor, Somyot should have known full well about the ramification of their publication yet he did them any way. | Na dia izany aza, nihevitra ny fitsarana fa mazava be ny olona tian'ny lahatsoratra kendrena sy lazaina ary amin'ny maha-lehiben'ny tonian-dahatsoratra, tokony ho fantatry Somyot tsara ny votoatin-kevitra soratany sy avoakany kanefa mbola navoakany ihany ilay lahatsoratra |
16 | “The court's procedure showed the articles which Mr Somyot published did not contain academic views of the monarchy. | “Nampiseho ny fitsarana heloka bevava fa tsy nahitana fijerinà mpianatra ambony mikasika ny fitondram-panjakana ilay lahatsoratra navoakan'i Somyot. |
17 | The articles were insulting in nature and caused damage to the King,” Judge Thawee said. | Fanevatevana no hita tamin'ny votoatin-dahatsoratra ary niteraka fanalam-baraka ho an'ny mpanjaka,” araka ny filazan'ilay mpitsara Thawee . |
18 | The verdict received numerous criticism from rights groups in Thailand, international news agencies and international rights groups. | Nahazo tsikera marobe avy amin'ireo vondrona mpiaron'ny zon'olombelona ao Thailandy sy avy any ivelany, ary ny sampam-pahalalambaovao iraisam-pirenena ny didim-pitsarana. |
19 | Inside Thailand, however, the news received a rather sober coverage from mainstream media. | Tao Thailandy, na dia izany aza, somary manjavozavo ny fitantaran'ny fampahalalalm-baovao mahazatra izany vaovao izany. |
20 | Thai netizens' reaction to Somyot's verdict was, as in previous cases, divided. | Tahaka ny raharaha teo aloha, somary nizarazara be ihany ny fijerin'ireo mpiserasera momba ny didim-pitsarana navoaka ho an'i Somyot. |
21 | Some argued that Somyot got what he deserved because he continued to be outspoken against Article 112 | Nilaza ny sasany fa nahazo ny sahaza azy i Somyot satria mbola nanohy naneho hevitra manitsakitsaka ny lalàna Andininy faha-112 ihany. |
22 | mitrapaap says in the Bangkok Post's web board: | mitrapaap naneho hevitra tao amin'ny habaka fifanakalozan-kevitra, Bangkok Post: |
23 | He was out there on bail. | Efa nahazo sazy mihantona izy. |
24 | He perfectly knew the risks of not keeping his mouth shut. | Fantany tsara ny loza mety hanjò azy raha tsy manakombona ny vavany izy. |
25 | One has to make his choice based on the current laws not matter whether you like them or not. | Tsy maintsy manao safidy araka ny lalàna manan-kery ny olona, na tianao na tsy tianao. |
26 | You don't change laws by breaking them. | Tsy manova ny lalàna ny fanitsakitsahana azy. |

28 | Thailand is good country, and bad people who insult our country, institutions, and do the bad crime should go to jail for long time. | Firenena mahafinaritra i Thailandy, ary tokony higadra maharitra ela ireo olon-dratsy manevateva ny firenentsika, ny andrim-panjakantsika, sy izay manao heloka bevava . |
29 | Khon Thai Hua Jai Singh wrote on Manager's web board: | Khon Thai Hua Jai Singh nanoratra tao amin'ny habaka fifanakalozan-kevitra: |
30 | To those belonging to the anti-monarchy movement - if you think that Thailand is not a good place to live because we have the monarchy, then leave our beloved country, the country that reveres our monarch. | Ho an'ireo mpomba ny hetsika manohitra ny fitondram-panjaka - raha mahita ianao fa tsy toerana tsara onenana i Thailandy noho ny fisian'ny fitondram-panjaka, mandehana misintaka ny firenena maminay, firenena izay manaja ny mpanjakanay. |
31 | Or if you believe that you have been duped by convicted felon Mr….. | Na raha mihevitra ianao fa diso fanantenana tamin'ny fanamelohana an'ilay meloka Andriamatoa …. |
32 | Now it's time to change your mind. | Fotoana hanovànao ny fomba fijerinao izao. |
33 | It's not too late for this society and your family to forgive you for what you've done. | Tsy mbola tara ho an'ity fiarahamonina ity sy ny fianakavianao ny mamela anao noho ireo zava-bitanao. |
34 | You must choose your path. | Tokony hisafidy ny tokony atao ianao. |
35 | On the contrary, rights groups both in Thailand and abroad condemned the verdict and some argued that Somyot received such harsh punishment because he was also an activist who advocated for the reform of Article 112 | Mifanohitra amin'izany, vondrona mpiaro ny zon ‘olombelona ao Thailandy sy any ivelany nanameloka ny didim-pitsarana ary nilaza ny sasany tamin'izy ireo fa nahazo izany sazy henjana izany i Somyot noho izy mpikatroka mitolona amin'ny fanovana ny lalàna Andininy faha-112 |
36 | 10 years is too harsh of a punishment for a person who has a different opinion than others. | Henjana loatra ny sazy 10 taona an-tranomaizina ho an'ny olona izay tsy mitovy hevitra amin'ny hafa. |
37 | Respecting different opinions and values is something our society needs to learn,” argues a Thai activist. | Zavatra iray tokony hianaran'ny fiarahamonintsika ny fanajana sy fanekena ny hevitry ny hafa sy ny hasiny,” araka ny filazan‘ilay mpikatroka Thailandey iray. |
38 | Luk Chaona Thai wrote on the Prachatalk web board: | Luk Chaona nanoratra tao amin'ny habaka fifanakalozan-kevitra Prachatalk: |
39 | The guilty verdict for Somyot is an imprisonment for free thinking. | Fanagadrana ny fahalalahana hanan-kevitra ny didim-pitsarana fanamelohana an'i Somyot. |
40 | It's natural for human beings to have diverse views on issues and one must be able to live in a society where people have different views. | Mandeha ho azy ho an'ny olombelona ny fananana fijery na hevitra samihafa mikasika toe-javatra iray ary tokony hahay hiara-hiaina amin'ny fiarahamonina ahitana vahoaka samy manana ny heviny sy ny fijeriny ny tsirairay. |
41 | The biggest disappointment, although not surprising, is the null reaction from the Yingluck government. | Ny fahadisoam-panantenana lehibe, na dia efa tsy mahagaga intsony aza dia ny tsy fisian'ny fanehoan-kevitra avy amin'ny governemanta Yingluc. |
42 | After all this was the pro-Thaksin magazine which has bee transformed into a Red Shirt (closely allied with former Prime Minister Thaksin, the brother of incumbent Prime Minister Yingluck) publication, Red Power. | Ambonin'izany, mahakasika ny gazetiboky mpomba an'i Thaksin ity raharaha ity izay nitarika ny fampahafantarana ny Lobaka mena (chemise rouge) (Hetsika akaikin'ny Praiminisitra teo aloha Thaksin, anadahin'ny Praiminisitra am-perinasa ankehitriny Yingluck). |
43 | Acting UDD Chair, Thida Thavornseth, was at Somyot's trial and several Red Shirt groups have organized activities in support of the Free Somyot campaign. | Nanatrika ny fotoam-pitsarana an'i Somyot ny Filohan'ny UDD, Thida Thavornseth ary nikarakara hetsim-panohanana ho fanentanana amin'ny “Famotsorana an'i Somyot” ireo vondrona “lobaka mena” marobe. |
44 | Yet, as one suspects, the ruling Pheu Thai party has no intention of intervening in this case. As Professor Duncan McCargo argues: | Na izany aza, araka ny efa nampoizina, tsy nitsabaka na naneho hevitra tamin'ity raharaha ity ny antokon'ny fitondrana Pheu Thai. Araka ny filazan'ilay Profesora Duncan McCargo: |
45 | Yingluck Shinawatra is performing a delicate balancing act to preserve the political deal which keeps her in office - and doing so involves keeping the country's conservative institutions, including the palace, the judiciary and the military onside. | Mitandrina mafy ny toerany i Yingluck Shinawatra mba hiarovany ny fifanekena ara-politika mampijanona azy eo amin'ny fitondrana- ka mahatonga azy hitandro ireo andrim-panjakana mpandala ny netin-drazana ao amin'ny firenena, anisan'izany ny lapan'ny mpanjaka, ny fitsarana sy ny tafika . |
