A Bangkok Appeals Court on Thursday upheld a lower court’s decision to imprison rocker Seksan Sookpimay aka Sek Loso. He was found guilty on three counts of drug abuse and resisting arrest following his arrest in December 2017.

Sek Loso, was found guilty of resisting arrest, threatening police with a gun and drug abuse on Oct 25, 2018.

He was sentenced by the court to 3 years and 9 months in prison despite claiming he was suffering from bipolar disorder. His bipolar defence was rejected by the Bangkok court.

He then began an appeal process to have his conviction overturned and sentence dropped.

However, the Appeal Court on Thursday upheld the lower court’s decision. The court reduced the sentence for his illegal arms possession from 5 months to 3 months. The others stayed the same.
