25 JANUARY 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A freedom of speech activist pickets the Criminal Court building in Bangkok. About 70 people protested on behalf of freedom of speech and expression at the Criminal Court building in Bangkok Friday. The protest was called as a result of the 10 year sentence handed down against magazine editor Somyot Prueksakasemsuk on Lese Majeste charges earlier in the week. The protesters burned several legal documents to demonstrate they said was their loss of free speech during the protest. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
