Author pardoned for insulting Thai monarchy

MELBOURNE: An Australian author who was jailed in Thailand for defaming the country’s monarchy in a novel that sold just seven copies returned home Saturday, after he was granted a royal pardon.

Harry Nicolaides, 41, exchanged a tearful greeting with his family at Melbourne’s airport, and thanked the Australian people for their support.
