Detained student activist appears for exam in detention centre

Detained student activist appears for exam in detention centre

Student activist Jatupat “Pai Dao Din” Boonpatraraksa on Friday sat for exams on computer knowledge and skills, the final test before getting his bachelor’s degree in laws from Khon Kaen University, in a detention centre in the province.

Jatupat has been charged and remains in detention after sharing a BBC article deemed to be insulting to the monarchy last December. He was accused of violating the lese majeste and computer crime laws.
He was briefly released on bail, but his bail was revoked after investigators filed a complaint with the court alleging he had violated his bail condition.
His lawyers have filed several bail requests since then.
On Thursday, they made another attempt to allow Jatupat to appear for the exam outside the detention centre but failed, as the court rejected their request.
