Former Thai pop singer Suthipongse “Heart” Thatphithakkul reported to the Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD) to acknowledge lèse majesté and computer crime charges.
The charges, filed by a legal aide to the PM’s Office, relate to a Facebook post by Suthipongse last year concerning the government’s vaccine procurement, with the singer denying all allegations amidst the resumed enforcement of Thailand's lèse majesté law.
