Food for thought: Activist hospitalised after 11-day hunger strike

[snoop1130]

 

Political activist Netiporn Sanesangkhom, aka Bung, was transferred from prison to the Correctional Hospital yesterday, following a hunger strike lasting 11 days, as confirmed by her legal representatives.

 

Suffering from symptoms including hepatitis and cystitis, Netiporn was too frail to walk, as stated by Thai Lawyers for Human Rights on their official account. Her confinement began at the Central Women’s Correctional Institution on January 26.

 

A prominent member of the staunch Thalu Wang protest group, Netiporn staunchly refused sustenance, medication, and medical aid since the evening of January 27. Her protest aims to spotlight the need for judicial reform and the cessation of imprisoning individuals due to political disparities.

 

Her prison term stemmed from a contempt of court charge dated January 26, linked to a demonstration that escalated into a confrontation with guards outside the Bangkok South Criminal Court on October 19 last year. This demonstration was staged to demonstrate solidarity with another activist sentenced for lese-majeste. Netiporn, concurrently facing a lese-majeste charge under Section 112 of the Criminal Code, had her bail revoked in connection to a separate protest held at the Ministry of Culture on August 6.

Discraceful "headline". Oddly enough this Thaiger article does not appear to be chat gtp.

Seeing as she has some diagnosed illness's going on that have progressed during her incarceration I wonder if she will end up in the luxury wing with Thaksin, nah didn't think so...

Ironic that the powers that be are more than happy to openly discuss the prisoner's symptoms and medical history but we aren't allowed to know anything about another certain hi profile prisoner

 

Are his rights different to other convicted prisoners rights. Hypothetical question to which we all know the answer

 

Thai double standards and smoke and mirrors at work again for all to see, the degree of contempt to which they treat the general public is truly mindful boggling....

It is a free country, if someone wishes to starve themselves to death they should be free to do so.
