Arabic-Web-Thai 'cyber scouts' patrol web for royal insults

Volunteer 'cyber scouts' are the Thai government's latest weapon to root out potential lese majeste offenders. They comb internet chat rooms and social networking sites looking for anyone who might be saying anything slightly negative about the monarchy. Speaking against the royal family in Thailand is a risky business and can lead to prison sentences of up to 15 years for every charge. Many people are concerned about the steep rise in cases over the past few years and say the law is being used as a political tool. A natural sound version of an AFPTV report.
