Khon Kaen Court Acquits Activist Ya Jai in Section 112 Case Over Three-Finger Salute at 2022 Graduation Ceremony
Today ( November 10, 2026), the Khon Kaen Provincial Court acquitted Songphon "Yajai" Sonthirak, a Khon Kaen University law graduate and former Thalu Fah activist, who faced charges under Thailand's Criminal Code Section 112 (lèse-majesté law) and the Computer Crime Act.
The case stemmed from her raising a three-finger salute during the university's royal graduation ceremony on December 20, 2022, and subsequently discussing the incident in media interviews.
The court ruled that the royal family member involved was not covered under Section 112, emphasizing that criminal laws must be interpreted strictly.
