BANGKOK, Sept 30 — A Thai court denied bail today for an activist lawyer sentenced to four years in prison for royal insults, his lawyer said, in one of the Southeast Asian country’s highest-profile lese-majeste cases.

He was sentenced on Tuesday in the first of 14 cases alleging he violated article 112 of the criminal code, as the royal insults law is known. Krisadang said he would consult with Arnon on whether to make another bail request or appeal the order to the Supreme Court.
