On 19 Oct, Kittichai Charnchoengsilpakul told Prachatai that last week he and a foreign academic visited his sister Daranee in prison. The prison authorities did not permit the foreign academic to visit her, citing the more restricted regulations of the prison. Kittichai was told by Daranee during his visit that the authorities told her that red shirts would not be allowed to visit her.
Daranee has been sentenced to 18 years in jail for lèse majesté offences, and her case is now on appeal.
