A political amnesty law takes effect in Thailand but excludes lese majeste
An amnesty for political offenses in Thailand, covering actions from Jan. 1, 2005 to July 15, 2025, took effect but excludes serious cases including lese majeste and corruption. The Peaceful Society Promotion Act was introduced to promote reconciliation, but the exclusion of these high-profile crimes has drawn criticism that it will not fully resolve political divisions.
