At least two activists were detained and fined Friday morning after holding an activity opposing the degree conferral ceremony at Chiang Mai University (CMU).

 

Activists Phimchanok Jaihong and Yossuntorn Rattapradit were taken to a police station in Chiang Mai. They were charged with failure to obey police officers. Phimchanok was also charged with causing a noise nuisance. Both have paid fines of 500 baht per count and been released, according to the Thai Lawyers for Human Rights (TLHR).

 

As the university held a ceremony for its graduates on Friday, the two activists held banners with messages critical of the participation by members of the royal family.
