<p>Following the Constitutional Court&rsquo;s ruling that <a href="https://prachatai.com/english/node/9545">the call for monarchy reform is an attempt to overthrow the government</a>, human rights lawyer and protest leader Anon Nampa has written an open letter saying that the ruling has made rebels of those who fight for freedom and equality.</p>

<p>A translation of the Constitutional Court&nbsp;ruling regarding a petition on whether or not the speeches calling for reform of the monarchy given by Anon Nampa, Panupong Jadnok and Panusaya Sitthijirawattanakul on 10 August 2020 constituted overthrowing rule of democracy with the king as head of state.</p>

<p>On 10 November, the Constitutional Court ruled that the calls for monarchy reform and monarchy-related activities organized by Anon Nampa, Panussaya Sitthijirawattanakul, Panupong Jadnok and associated organizations were, are and will be abuse of constitutional rights and liberties as they are intended to &lsquo;overthrow&rsquo; the democratic form of government with the King as Head of State.</p>

<p>On Wednesday, 3 November, the Criminal Court granted bail to 4 activists detained pending trial on charges relating to an incident on 3 August 2021 when paint was splashed in front of Thung Song Hong Police Station.</p>

<p>Thai Lawyers for Human Rights has reported that the Court of Appeal has allowed bail requests on behalf of Sirichai Natueng, Panadda Sirimasakul and Sam Samat, while rejecting those for 5 others detained for similar offences, citing a previous court ruling that they are likely to repeat violations of the law.</p>

<p><a href="http://tlhr2014.com/archives/33655">Thai Lawyers for Human Rights (TLHR)</a> reports that the Courts have denied bail requests from 10 individuals held for participating in recent protests.&nbsp; The courts contend that all ten are likely to violate the law and cause further disorder, if released.</p>

<p>An online archive of common people launched on 12th August, using &#39;mother&#39; as its first theme.</p>

<p>Activist and human rights lawyer Anon Nampa have been denied bail after he was arrested on a royal defamation charge due to his speech at the <a href="https://prachatai.com/english/node/9383">second Harry Potter protest</a> on 3 August 2021 at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC).</p>

<p>A year after the <a href="https://prachatai.com/english/node/8696">Harry Potter-themed protest at the Democracy Monument</a>, which was the first protest in 2020 to address issues of the monarchy, people gathered in front of the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) to once again call for monarchy reform.</p>

<p>The third &lsquo;Car Mob&rsquo; has been held in at least 30 places around Thailand demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha. A variety of campaigns joined the protest.</p>

<p>On 1 June, the Criminal Court granted bail to activists Chukiat Sangwong, Anon Nampa and Panupong Jadnok, who were previously detained pending trial on royal defamation charges, on a security of 200,000 baht each with the condition that they must not participate in activities damaging the monarchy.</p>

<p>One day ahead of a court ruling on the temporary release of 3 famous pro-democracy protesters detained on royal defamation charges, the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/naksit.org/photos/a.559642024104300/3919357344799401/">Human Rights Lawyers Association</a> (HRLA) has urged the Office of the Judicial Commission to look into 3 questionable points which may involve the courts in political conflict.</p>
