The manager of a Thai web sitefaces20 years in prison for not deletingcomments posted on the site fast enough.She is accused of allowingthe king to be defamed.

To make it a crime to defame someone or something, whether it be theking, the president, the state, or some officials, is an act oftyranny -- directly counter to human rights. We don't need to wait tosee an attempt to overextend that law before we condemn the statethat practices it.
