Thailand faced criticism from international rights groups on Wednesday for bringing charges of insulting the monarchy against protest leaders who have challenged King Maha Vajiralongkorn as well as the government.

The Paris-based International Federation for Human Rights said “lese-majeste must not be used to criminalize pro-democracy protest leaders and participants”. Since July, protesters have been calling for the removal of Prayuth, a former junta leader. They also demand a new constitution and curbs on the king’s powers.
