At the Police Crime Suppression Division in Bangkok, Prachatai Director Chiranuch Premchaiporn was granted bail with Chantana Banpasirichote, political science lecturer from Chulalongkorn University, as guarantor. Chiranuch is being finger printed and filing her criminal record.
Police have yet to finish copying data from her hard disk.
About 50 people, including students, Prachatai readers, Chiranuch's relatives, social activists and academics have come to the police division to give her moral support.
