She actually got 87 years, but they gave her a 50% discount because of a guilty verdict, hence 43 years.

Woman jailed for record 43 years for insulting Thai monarchy

Anchan, in her 60s, had hoped for leniency and said she did not realise audio she shared was inappropriate

A Thai woman in her 60s insulting the King is a crime in itself. She's old enough to know that you do not, under any circumstances insult the King even if you only have 3 fingers left.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

and when they come for emm I'll be sure to point out how valid the reasons were.

So generous and thank god for leniency. Just think that if she had been given an 87 year sentence, then she would be over 140 years old when she was released. Now she will only be about 103 when she gets out. Cool.

(For sharing a video ??? Right.)
