The case represents a rare detention of a foreign citizen under Thailand\u2019s strict l\u00e8se-majest\u00e9 laws.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The academic, Paul Chambers, a lecturer in civil-military relations in Southeast Asia at Naresuan University in northern Thailand, was arrested on charges under the l\u00e8se-majest\u00e9 laws and the Computer Crimes Act, according to his lawyers, members of the Thai Lawyers for Human Rights, a legal aid group. Immigration authorities also revoked his visa, the group said on Wednesday, suggesting that he could be forced to leave the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The charges stem from a brief online description of a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iseas.edu.sg\/mec-events\/thailands-2024-military-and-police-reshuffles-what-do-they-mean\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">webinar<\/a> last October about Thailand\u2019s military and police forces where Dr. Chambers was the featured speaker, his legal team said. The text, which appeared on the website of a research institute in Singapore and has since been edited, described Thailand\u2019s king as having authority over changes to the military leadership, according to the lawyers. They said that Dr. Chambers had not written the text. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Days after the webinar, a unit of the Royal Thai Armed Forces responsible for internal security requested more information from Naresuan University about the webinar and Dr. Chambers, his lawyers said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A provincial court issued an arrest warrant for Dr. Chambers on March 31, his lawyers said, and he voluntarily reported to the police station in Phitsanulok, in northern Thailand, on Friday morning. A police officer at the station informed him that he had been accused of publicizing the webinar invitation, his lawyers said. The statement that the king had power over military reshuffles was false and insulting to the monarch, the officer said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Akarachai Chaimaneekarakate, a representative for Thai Lawyers for Human Rights, said that Dr. Chambers denied the charges. \u201cHe clearly cannot be posting anything he wants on the website,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2015\/09\/18\/world\/asia\/thailand-king-lese-majeste.html\" title=\"\">l\u00e8se-majest\u00e9 laws<\/a> in Thailand are among the strictest in the world, and forbid defaming, insulting or threatening the king and other members of the royal family. Human rights groups have criticized the laws for suppressing free speech. Charges under the laws carry a minimum sentence of three years and a maximum of 15 years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While Thai courts are expected to rule this year on <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/01\/19\/world\/asia\/thailand-sentence-royalty-defamation.html\" title=\"\">hundreds of l\u00e8se-majest\u00e9 cases<\/a>, it is rare for a foreigner to be arrested under the laws.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Chambers was being detained at a prison in Phitsanulok after a court denied two bail requests, Mr. Chaimaneekarakate said. He said that they were appealing the denials, and had 48 hours to appeal the decision to revoke his visa.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A scholar of democracy and international politics in South East Asia, Dr. Chambers published <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/brill.com\/view\/journals\/aisr\/25\/1\/article-p1_1.xml\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">research<\/a> last year on the political relationship between Thailand\u2019s monarchy and military. He received a doctorate in political science at Northern Illinois University.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cHe was shocked, of course,\u201d Mr. Chaimaneekarakate said, adding that Dr. Chambers had lived in Thailand for more than 30 years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute, which hosted the webinar, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Royal Thai Police could not immediately be reached for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The State Department said on Tuesday that it was communicating with Thai authorities over Dr. Chambers\u2019 detention.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThis case reinforces our longstanding concerns about the use of l\u00e8se-majest\u00e9 laws in Thailand,\u201d Tammy Bruce, a State Department spokeswoman, said in a statement. \u201cWe continue to urge Thai authorities to respect freedom of expression and to ensure that laws are not used to stifle permitted expression.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1

the fair treatment of Paul Chambers,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
