    » Writer jailed for 'insulting' Thai royals Australian writer Harry Nicolaides is jailed for three years after being found guilty of insulting the Thai monarchy in his novel. Today news from the BBC, after heard the news I thought that maybe it time that maybe we should all discussing this kind of...

    • Yellow_Shirt commented : colaides, 41, was arrested in late August and locked up in jail before pleading guilty last month to lese majeste - offending the royal family - in 12 lines he wrote in his 2005 novel Verisimilitude, which referred to an unspecified crown prince's love life. Since his detention, Mr Nicolaides' family and lawyer Mark Dean have campaigned for his release, and upon conviction immediately began applying for a royal pardon. "Our emphasis to the Thai government was on compassionate grounds, for them to consider Harry's case compassionately and expeditiously," Forde Nicolaides said. "I think everyone was on the same page, as they have been reasonably expeditious with the application. We are very grateful for that. Finally to have him home ... it's just fantastic, just wonderful." [url:iehucjno]http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,25086273-2,00.html[/url:iehucjno]

The colours may have changed, but the colours of music never change."
