THE SUPREME Court Friday ruled in favour of Khon Kaen provincial court and the Appeal Court’s rulings to revoke the bail of a student activist charged under the lese majeste law and the Computer Crime Act for sharing a BBC Thai article about the monarchy.
Meanwhile, the provincial court granted Khon Kaen police permission for a fourth round of detention for activist Jatupat “Pai Daodin” Boonpattararaksa. This keeps him in detention for another 12 days from Monday to Jan 20.
On December 3, Jatupat was charged with violating the lese majeste law as well as the Computer Crime Act after he shared the news agency’s controversial article on his Facebook page. The article was shared by over 2,000 people. He was released on Bt400,000 bail the following day.
