BANGKOK: -- A member of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship arrested for allegedly posting a fake Palace announcement about His Majesty the King’s health has been released on bail by the Military Court.

Mr Winyat Chartmontri, secretary –general of Volunteer Lawyers for Human Rights, said Tuesday that he posted 400,000 baht in cash as a bail for the temporary release of the suspect, Mr Krit Bootdeejine, who has been detained for more than a week.

Having considered the case and the fact that there was no rejection against the request for release of the suspect from the inquiry officers, the military court then granted Mr Krit temporary release on bail.

Mr Krit earlier told the court that he didn’t know the announcement of the Bureau of the Royal Household as a fake.
