A verdict has yet to be reached in 4 of the remaining counts of royal defamation, including one filed against him for giving a speech at the 17 November 2020 protest in front of parliament, the trial for which has been scheduled for 8 July. He was also charged with royal defamation for giving a speech at the 29 July 2020 protest at Tha Phae gate in Chiang Mai, for which the public prosecutor has yet to rule whether to indict him.

Anon has been detained pending appeal at the Bangkok Remand Prison since 26 September 2023. He has always maintained during his trials that he was criticizing a public figure and the issues he raised are in the interest of the public. Meanwhile, the Court has been refusing to summon evidence in some of the cases against him, such as documents concerning the monarchy’s spending, claiming that they were not necessary.
