The activity was held the night before the custody period of the 14 activists will end. However, the police might issue a new custody petition against them to the military court on Tuesday morning. The event lasted from 5-9 pm.
At the event, many pro-democracy academics and activists gave speeches to urge for the release of the 14 and criticised the junta’s regime for the repression of freedom of expressions and human rights.
