| A Thai man has been jailed for 18 years for posting six video clips deemed insulting to Thailand's monarchy on Facebook, as authoritarian regimes across south-east Asia crackdown on critics and freedom of speech.
Sixty-one-year-old Tara, whose last name has been withheld, cannot appeal the sentence because he was arrested in 2015 while Thailand was under martial law following a military coup the year before.
