4:08Now PlayingA man in Thailand was just sentenced to 35 years in jail for insulting the king on Facebook. Grace Baldridge, John Iadarola, Kim Horcher, the hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“A Thai man has been jailed for 35 years for Facebook posts deemed insulting to the royal family, a watchdog said, in one of the harshest sentences handed down for a crime that insulates Thailand’s ultra-rich monarchy from criticism.

Wichai, 34, whose last name was withheld to protect his relatives from ostracism, was accused of using the account to slander a former friend, said iLaw, a group that tracks royal defamation cases.
“The court punished him with seven years per count. Altogether he was given 70 years, but it was reduced in half because he confessed,” said Yingcheep Atchanont from iLaw.“
