Pro-democracy protest leader, Parit “Penguin” Chiwarak, was granted temporary release by the Bangkok South Criminal Court this afternoon, February 24th, with a deposit of 200,000 baht.

 

The bail followed the Court’s request yesterday to present the evidence of his enrollment at Thammasat University along with his class schedules and the university letter before they would reconsider the bail request.

 

Parit, who had been in prison for 200 days, was held in custody for charges of royal defamation, or Section 112’s lese majeste and sedition for staging a crop top protest in downtown Bangkok last year.
