Thai man sentenced to 30yrs in prison for Facebook posts insulting monarchy

A 48-year-old man named Pongsak Sriboonpeng was today Friday August 7th handed the lengthy prison sentence by the military court, having been prosecuted under Thailand’s royal defamation law.

His lawyer Sasinan Thamnithinan told AFP that his sentence was 60 years - a decade for each six Facebook posts he made but this was halved as he had pleaded guilty.


"It's broken the record," she said about the severe jail term. She further added that because Pongsak was arrested while Thailand was still under martial law there was no right to appeal the sentence passed by the military court.

Under Section 112 of the Criminal Code, anyone convicted of insulting the king, queen, heir or regent faces up to 15 years in prison on each count.

Inside Asia's largest red light district with hundreds of multi-storey brothels home to prostitutes - from 72-year-old women who can't bring themselves to leave, to wives fleeing violent husbands

The pictures of women applying their make-up, waiting in their rooms and playing with their children offer a rare glimpse into the lives of the sex workers who ply their trade in Asia's largest red light district.

They are the residents of Sonagachi, in the western city of Kolkata, an area swamped with hundreds of multi-storey brothels, housing roughly 14,000 prostitutes from all over India.

It is thought as many as 1,000 women arrive every year to work in the brothels, and each of them have their own tale of how they came to live in the sprawling red light district.

Commercial plane's engine catches fire at US airport

The engine of a Delta airline plane heading to Cincinnati from Nashville caught fire at a Nashville airport in the US this morning. The fire started when the pilot turned on the engine. The passengers were immediately evacuated from the plane with no one injured or any casualties.

One of the passengers, Phil Cobucci when recounting what happened said "No one heard anything. The plane really just stopped in the middle of the tarmac.

It was more like an inconvenience, really," 

Yolanda Foster I Removed My Leaky Implants

Yolanda Foster thinks her leaky breast implants were making her preexisting medical condition debilitating, so she's had them removed from her body ... and it changed her life. 

According to our sources, the 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star had both implants removed this week. Foster says her doctors discovered one of them was leaking silicone, and they immediately realized it was exacerbating the symptoms of her Lyme disease.

What will be revealed?

When you look into your eyes, you may be trying to steel yourself for an interview. Or maybe you're just checking to see if they are red and bloodshot, irritated by allergies or perhaps a long night out.

But when doctors look into your eyes, they can see a lot more. The eyes might be the proverbial window to the soul, but they are also a clear window to your health, and the amount of information they can reveal is astounding.

‘Excessive drinking of Red Bull is making me blind’- British Mum

A jobless 26 year old British mum of 3 says she is going blind due to drinking too much Red Bull, an addiction she says she spends almost $13,000 of her benefits from the Govt, per year on it.

     
She says she drinks about 28 cans of the energy drink a day and was unaware of the damage she was doing to her body until she collapsed in June.

Doctors discovered Ms Lupari had developed a condition known as Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).

“I’m hooked on Red Bull, it’s like a Class A drug,” she said. “Recently I started getting migraines and then black spots in my vision. My gran had the same symptoms and within two years she was dead.

“I’m trying to cut down but I’ve tried before and I always relapse. I can’t let it go.”

Ms Lupari has been warned to shed 50 kilograms from her 165-kilogram frame, or risk even more serious health problems.

She believes that Britain’s National Health Service should provide her with a gastric band for free.

“I’ve done this to myself but I deserve surgery on the NHS,” she said.

A spokeswoman for Red Bull said the drink should be “consumed in moderation”.

“One 250 ml can of Red Bull Energy Drink contains the same amount of sugar as in the same-sized apple juice, orange juice or conventional soft drink (27g),” she said. “Like any foods or beverages, energy drinks should be consumed in moderation and as part of a balanced and varied diet and healthy lifestyle. Our product is predominantly sold in small cans, which contributes to such moderation.”
