In this image made from video taken on Sunday, October 16, 2016, Umaporn Sarasat, 43, pays respects in front of a portrait of Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej in Koh Samui, Thailand. She is accused of insulting the country's late king and was forced to kneel before his portrait outside a police station on the tourist island of Samui as several hundred people bayed for an apology. It is likely that Umaporn, a small-business owner, who is alleged to have posted disrespectful comments online, will face charges of insulting the monarchy. Thailand has draconian lese majeste laws that impose stiff prison sentences for actions or writings regarded as derogatory toward the monarch or his family. (Photo by AP Photo)
