Thai Lawyers for Human Rights (TLHR) has renewed its call for an end to arbitrary detention and judicial harassment of political activists, as a prison hunger strike by two of those activists enters its fourth day.
Orawan Phuphong and Tantawan Tuatulanon have been detained at the Central Women’s Correctional Institution since Monday, after appearing in court to revoke their own bail. They said they did so to demand the release on bail of other activists, as well as judicial and legal reforms, including revocation of the lese majeste (royal defamation) and sedition laws.
