if you don't stand up, you're mad!
Another person has been arrested for refusing to stand for the royal anthem at a Thai cinema. Rachapin Chancharoen has been accused of lese majeste by other members of the audience, in a case echoing that of Chotisak Oonsoong (who is facing the same charge following his refusal to stand at a cinema last year). Surely if someone chooses not to stand up, it should be nobody else's business?
Furthermore, the police have speculated that Rachapin may be mentally ill, as if a sane person would never refuse to stand. They should realise that standing up (or rather, sitting down) for your beliefs is not a sign of madness.
