A Thai court on Wednesday acquitted five anti-government protesters indicted on charges of attempted violence against the country's queen during a demonstration in 2020, a legal aid group said. The case stemmed from an event at the height of pro-democracy demonstrations in 2020, in which a motorcade carrying Queen Suthida was heckled as it drove past a group of protesters. The youth-led demonstrations had also called for royal reform including amending the controversial lese majeste law, which punishes each perceived royal insult with up to 15 years in prison.
