And I assume being alive is a requirement of being an AN member, or at least one that can post. I'm sorry she died... that wasn't her intention I assume. Doesn't make her sacrifice any less. Could I get in trouble if I posted my view on that law? It would not be in support.... Maybe a clearer post next time. Someone has died in custody for a cause she and a majority of Thais believe in. Frivolity might not be the best thing in this case. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post VillageIdiot Posted May 14 Popular Post Share Posted May 14 6 hours ago, Gottfrid said: Of course, RIP. However, one must wonder what goes on in the head of these people? Do they not understand that the government nor hospitals are to blame for this. The choice to hunger strike, is only a thing that is going to hurt one self. There are probably better ways. Spot on.

AI failure. "tenterhooks" perhaps? Remember that while this young woman was remanded without bail or access to a trial, convicted seditionists were released after two nights in jail. SUTHEP AND AIDES GRANTED BAIL, 2 DAYS AFTER SEDITION VERDICT An appeal court on Friday approved a temporary release for former deputy PM Suthep Thaugsuban and seven other defendants found guilty earlier this week of inciting sedition against the elected government. Suthep and seven of his lieutenants who campaigned alongside him during the “Shutdown Bangkok” street protests in 2013 and 2014 were deemed to pose no flight risk by the Court of Appeals. Their bond was set at 800,000 baht each. The eight defendants were set to be released later today from Bangkok Remand Prison. Suthep and others are seeking to appeal the verdict, which sent them to jail on Wednesday on a number of charges, including insurrection and suppressing an election. https://www.khaosodenglish.com/politics/2021/02/26/suthep-and-aides-granted-bail-2-days-after-sedition-verdict/ 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anchadian Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Thailand: Tragic death of detained activist must be ‘wake-up call’ Responding to the death of Netiporn ‘Bung’ Sanesangkhom, a Thai pro-democracy activist who passed away today after a prolonged hunger strike in detention, Amnesty International Thailand Director Piyanut Kotsan said: “Amnesty International expresses its deepest condolences following the death of Netiporn ‘Bung’ Sanesangkhom, who had gone on hunger strike in protest at her and others’ arbitrary detention, including for peacefully exercising their human rights. “This is a shocking reminder that Thai authorities are harshly denying pro-democracy activists their freedom in an apparent bid to silence the peaceful expression of dissent. Many are currently detained, with their right to temporary release on bail denied.

newbee2022 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 19 hours ago, snoop1130 said: The day has taken a daunting turn as Nethiporn, a high-profile political activist from the Thaluwang Group, infamously known as Bung, suffered a medical crisis while in detention. This morning, she experienced a cardiac arrest and is currently undergoing medical treatment at Ratchadon Hospital where the medical team is relentlessly attempting to stabilise her frail condition. Nethiporn, associated with the Thaluwang Group, was arrested and incarcerated at the Central Women’s Correctional Facility since January 26th for her political activities. She is notably known for her rebellious stance after being jailed for contempt of court by the South Bangkok Criminal Court. In a bold move displaying her undeterred spirit, Nethiporn announced a hunger strike on January 27th, which notably expanded to involve four additional detainees by April 9th, according to the Human Rights Lawyers Centre. The exact circumstances leading to her sudden heart failure have not been disclosed, keeping onlookers and concerned parties on tentacles. Yet, it leaves room for speculation if the prolonged hunger strike orchestrated by her could have contributed to her compromised health, thereby leading to this adverse cardiac event. This incident has inevitably cast a spotlight on the medical preparedness within prison facilities to handle such critical emergencies. It elucidates the fragile health conditions of incarcerated individuals, raising immediate concerns about their undeniable right to timely and adequate healthcare. Nethiporn's precariously balanced health condition has garnered significant attention, not only due to her noted political presence but also owing to the larger questions it raises about healthcare conditions in detention centres. This incident uncovers crucial human rights issues within the nation's political and judicial spheres, opening up thought-provoking discussions about the treatment of detainees and their health while under custody.

She is a martyr now as you said yourself and martyr can reach a lot if you look in the past. It needs courage to die for things you believe in.. That is why I respect her.. She believed in amending section 112 and died for it and the ones who refuse or hide behind the law should think twice now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
