A 27-year-old Thai man faces up to 32 years in jail for ‘liking’ a Photoshopped image of the country’s king on Facebook.

Thanakorn Siripaiboon was arrested at his home in Samut Prakan province for sharing the doctored photo of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, as well as an infographic on a Thai corruption scandal, with around 600 friends.

Under Thai law, anyone convicted of insulting the revered but ailing 88-year-old king can face up to 15 years in jail on each count.
