Rung Sila was detained for writing a poem deemed offensive to the monarchy and faced 45 years in prison under the lèse-majesté law. Granted bail in 2019 after nearly 5 years detained, he was given a 4.5-year sentence, and quickly released because he has spent 4 years and 11 months in pretrial detention following his arrest on June 1, 2014.
