A protester was arrested on Friday (25 November) and subsequently denied bail on a contempt of court charge resulting from a speech demanding bail for a detained activist.

As a hyper-royalist doctor has said that he wanted to visit Perth, Australia, from time to time as a part of his retirement plan, a Thai political academic in exile, launched an online campaign on Change.org, calling for the Australian government to deny him entry in response to his witch-hunts against free speech activists. 

The activist group Thalufah staged a protest in front of the police headquarters yesterday (24 November) to demand that the police take responsibility for the violent crackdown on the 18 November anti-government protest march, which left many protesters injured and cost one activist his eye.

Three activists detained pending trial on charges relating to the burning of a royal ceremonial arch in front of Ratchawinit School have been granted bail after months in prison. 

An online news agency is filing a fresh court challenge aimed at reining in the police’s documented aggression against members of the press.  The 18 November crackdown on anti-government demonstrators saw a reporter on the ground being beaten and a bottle hurled at a photographer’s face from the direction of the police.
