(VOVworld) - A prominent anti-coup activist in Thailand could face up to 14 years in prison if convicted of incitement, computer crimes and ignoring a summons by the junta, police said Thursday. Sombat Boonngamanong, who led a social media campaign to stage peaceful but illegal rallies against the junta, is set to stand trial in a military court. He has been charged with inciting unrest, violating the computer crime act and defying an order by the junta to turn himself in, according to Prasopchoke Prommul, deputy commander of the police's crime suppression division. Sombat has denied the accusations. He was arrested a week ago in Chonburi, southeast of Bangkok.
