The Bangkok South Criminal Court decided to extend bail this afternoon (Wednesday) for Panusaya “Rung” Sithijirawattanakul, a key leader of the anti-establishment Ratsadon protest group, until May 25th, and eased restrictions on her movements as well.

 

The Thai Lawyers for Human Rights (TLHR) said that the court’s decision has spared Rung from being sent back to jail on remand, as her bail was scheduled to expire today.

 

The TLHR said that the bail conditions imposed by the court remain unchanged, except that the court has allowed Rung to leave home between 6am and 6pm, instead of being subjected to a 24-hour curfew.

Very gracious of this oppressive regime, to allow her to remain free. Anytime a government feels the need to lock up it's critics, the entire world know it's critics are not only correct in their assertions, but are maintaining a position of moral authority. Something this nation desperately needs as this time, and does not really have.

I do wonder if those convicted for their crimes during the 2014 overthrow of the government are subject to similar bail conditions.

 

That they were granted bail within 48 hours.
