Pro-democracy Ratsadon protest leader Parit Chiwarak, aka “Penguin”, and three other protesters were given two-month prison terms today (Monday), suspended for one year, by the Don Mueang District Court over their protest in front of Bang Khen police station on August 7th, 2020.

 

The court also imposed a fine of 11,300 baht on each of the four protesters after finding them guilty of illegal assembly in a public venue, violation of Communicable Diseases Act, illegal use of loudspeakers and violation of traffic laws.

 

Three other protesters were fined 3,000 baht each for their involvement in a protest to offer moral support to two other Ratsadon leaders, Arnon Nampa and Panupong Jadnok, who were then held in police custody at the time for their roles in the “Youth Liberation” protest.

While this bunch are in power... never.

Freedom of speech is only allowed for those who support the government.

If you stood outside government house with a placard stating Prayut is a hero do you think they'd be arrested?

But have a placard saying he's the opposite and the police will be knocking on your door.
