            Long live freedom of speech. This video could get me jailed for 15 years in Thailand.

"Thailand has a cult of personality around the king and images of him are everywhere."

"Oliver Jufer, 57, was arrested last December after spray-painting posters of Bhumibol Adulyadej"

"YouTube, a popular video hosting website, has been banned by the government of Thailand after at least 3 videos insulting Thailand's King, Bhumibol Adulyadej were uploaded to the site."

Universal Declaration of Human rights Article 19:
"Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."
