Thailand's strict laws making it a crime to insult the monarchy entered new territory on Monday, when a factory worker was charged with disparaging the king's dog "Tongdaeng".
根据严格的泰国法律，侮辱王室是一种犯罪。14日，当一名工厂员工被指控诋毁国王的爱犬"通丹"时，这项法律进入了一个新境界。
In a case brought in a Thai military court, the worker, Thanakorn Siripaiboon, was charged with making a "sarcastic" Internet post related to the king's pet. He also faces separate charges of sedition and insulting the king.
泰国一所军事法院受理了这名叫做坦那孔·斯里帕蓬的工人被控在网上发帖"讽刺"国王的宠物的案件。
Thanakorn could face a total of 37 years in prison for his social media posts.
此外，他还面临煽动叛乱和亵渎国王的指控。
The suspect's lawyer, Anon Numpa said the boundaries of what has been considered lèse-majesté, as royal insults are known, had expanded drastically in recent years.
因为在社交媒体上发布这样的帖子，坦那孔可能面临总共37年监禁。
But Anon said he was incredulous that it could be broadened to include a household pet.
嫌疑人的律师安农·努帕表示，亵渎王室罪的适用范围近几年来明显扩大，但令他难以置信的是，连王室宠物也会包含在内。
