Ekachai denied bail in motorcade case
Court of Appeal upholds criminal court ruling against veteran provocateur
The Court of Appeal has upheld a lower court ruling to deny bail to activist Ekachai Hongkangwan, who was charged with causing harm to Her Majesty the Queen’s liberty during her motorcade on Oct 14.
The court said that Ekkachai faced a serious charge under Section 110 of the Criminal Code, which carries a sentence of life imprisonment or a jail term of 16-20 years. If released on bail he would pose a flight risk, it ruled, adding that the lower court decision to refuse bail was justified.
