boycotts of e-commerce giant Lazada

Thailand has strict laws over defaming, insulting or threatening senior members of the royal family. Thailand’s army has boycotted online retailer Lazada over an advert that the government is probing for allegedly insulting the country’s royal family. Royalists said the advert, which featured a woman in a wheelchair, mocked the younger sister of King Vajiralongkorn, Princess Chulabhorn, who uses a wheelchair as a result of Lupus, an autoimmune disease. Do you think that defaming should be treated as a criminal offence ?
