Thailand's Lèse-majesté Law ‘Stifling Dissent’
While millions of people are mourning the revered monarch, who ruled for 70 years, Thailand's military government is ramping up its crackdown on people insulting or criticizing the royal family.
Over the past three years, more than 100 people have been charged or convicted for violating the country’s strict draconian lèse-majesté law (violating the dignity of a ruler), which forbids insult of the monarchy.
The military leadership says some sort of democracy will return next year, but there is no indication that will mean freedom of speech when it comes to the monarchy.

Inside Story: Can the United States End the Blockade of Qatar?
Rex Tillerson is visiting Saudi Arabia and Qatar as part of a regional tour. His last visit was in July for intense talks, but no deal was made. Tillerson is playing down the chances of a quick solution in his latest shuttle diplomacy.
He is already been blaming the Saudi-led group of countries for the lack of progress.
Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt cut ties with Qatar in June, and imposed a land, sea and air travel blockade on the country.
The Saudi-led bloc accuse Qatar of supporting terrorism, allegations strongly denied by Doha.
What will it take to find a solution? And does the Saudi-led quartet want to talk?
