Thailand’s Criminal Court this afternoon denied bail to two young activists one day after the hunger-striking pair collapsed in court.
Pro-democracy activists – Netiporn “Bung” Sanesangkhom and Nutthanit “Bai Por” Duangmusit – were deemed by the court to be in good health and refused bail despite the fact they were hospitalized yesterday after nearly 50 days on a hunger strike.
In its ruling, the court cited their “normal” condition to again deny bail to both, who have spent over two months behind bars awaiting trial, according to Thai Lawyers for Human Rights.
Members of monarchy reform activist group Thaluwang; Netiporn, 26; and Nutthanit, 21; have been held since May for polling public opinions on the royal motorcades which are known to snarl traffic.
