The local court has given Tantawan Tuatulanon, known as 'Tawan', bail in connection with the royal motorcade horn beeping incident on February 4, under Section 116. Tawan's family had made this request for bail eight times prior to it being granted. One of the stipulations for her release is that she must wear an electronic monitoring (EM) bracelet.

 

Her lawyer, Kritsadang Nutcharat, who works for the Human Rights Lawyers Center, revealed that Tawan had been on a hunger strike for quite some time. This long period of protest against her extended detention had led to a significant decline in her health. As a result, she was under medical care at Thammasat University Hospital. Despite her release, Tawan will still need constant medical monitoring.

 

Tawan has spent more than 100 days in detention prior to her release. She was arrested in February on charges of sedition and other related offenses. It was alleged that she attempted to disrupt the royal motorcade of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn on a highway in Bangkok.
