Swiss man gets 10 years for Thai king graffiti

A Swiss man, 57-years-old, Oliver Jufer, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for spray-painting graffiti over images of Thailand's revered king, the first conviction of a foreigner in at least a decade under strict Thai laws protecting the monarchy.
The vandalism coincided with Bhumibol's 79th birthday, which was celebrated across Thailand with fireworks and prayers.
