<p>To show support for the demands made by two activists now on a dry hunger strike in prison, activists in several provinces have staged protests to demand the release of all political prisoners and reform of the judicial system.</p>

<p>Thai&nbsp;authorities should immediately drop the charges and release two democracy activists detained for criticizing the monarchy, <a href="https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/01/20/thailand-free-detained-critics-monarchy">Human Rights Watch</a> said on Friday (20 January).</p>

<p>Two detained monarchy reform activists have announced that they will be dry fasting to demand bail for every political prisoner, after there was no response to the demands they made when they revoked their own bail on Monday (16 January).</p>

<p>To protest the denial of bail and detention of political prisoners, two activists have revoked their own bail and demanded that every political prisoner is released within 3 days.</p>

<p>Two monarchy reform activists have had their bail revoked yesterday (9 January) after the Criminal Court ruled that they had violated their bail conditions by joining an anti-government protest during the APEC summit in November 2022.</p>

<p>Run by a translator, a sociology lecturer, and the mother of an activist, and supported by protesters all over the country, the Will of the People Fund has been bailing out activists and protesters prosecuted for taking part in the pro-democracy movement.</p>

<p>An ultraroyalist political party has announced that they will campaign to extend the scope of the lèse majesté law to include former Thai kings, princes, and princesses of the current Chakri line.</p>
