Some “red shirts” are also known critics of the Lese Majeste (anti-Royal Insult) law, which the government has been using to prosecute activists and anti-junta politicians. 
Baadhi ya "shati jekundu" wanafahamika kama wakosoaji wa sheria ya Lese Majeste (kinyume na watukanaji wa Mfalme), ambayo serikali imekuwa ikiitumia kuwahukumu wanaharakati na wanasiasa walio kinyume na Junta.
