Name: Anuwat Pathumthin (Age 25)
Occupation: Vendor, Influencer
Case: Lèse Majesté (Article 112) from Posting to Facebook
Date of Imprisonment: 15 March 2024
Location of Imprisonment: Bangkok Remand Prison

“Nara” Anuwat Pathumthin, a sexually-diverse person, was born in Lopburi Province and later moved to Ayutthaya Province. Their home includes their grandparents, mother, two siblings, and a blind niece. Nara is the oldest child in the house. Their father passed away, so before entering prison, Nara was the pillar of the family. But now Nara feels as though they are a burden to their family as all responsibility now rests solely with their mother. 

Nara explained that their mother faces a great deal of hardship because she has to look after everyone, from the youngest who is in Grade 4 and the next who is age 18 and studying in vocational school at this key transition point in their life. Nara does not know how their younger siblings are doing, and knows that at least if they were outside they would be able to look after their family. 

Nara’s niece is blind in both eyes. Their mother has high blood pressure and frequent migraines. Their grandparents are elderly and have chronic health problems, especially her grandmother who is often ill.

In Nara’s first Article 112 case, they were accused of organizing and participating in the 5.5 campaign clip for Lazada in May 2022. They were accused of mocking Princess Chulaborn and Queen Sirikit. Subsequently, the Court dismissed the case because the actions were outside the scope of the law. But then Nara was charged in a second Article 112 case, from making a post to Facebook on 16 October 2020.
