THE second suspect detained for allegedly spreading false allegations about the Rajabhakti Park scandal on Facebook was released on a Bt400,000 bail guarantee Friday.
Thanet Anantawong’s temporary release came on the condition that he does not engage in political activity and reports to officials every 12 days.
The 25-year-old, who operates a motorcycle taxi and is a secretary of the New Democracy Movement, is facing charges of violating Article 116 of the Criminal Code and the Computer Crime Act.
Arrested at a hospital on December 13, Thanet appeared calm when police and military officers escorted him to the Bangkok Military Court Friday to seek permission to extend his detention.
However, the court chose to grant him bail pending further investigation.
