While political tensions in Thailand continue between the various sections of the ruling elites, the struggle against Lese Majeste and for the freedom of political prisoners continues. The Thai courts are still using these laws to keep people in jail, with Da Torpedo’s jail sentence of 15 years recently upheld by the courts. This week in Bangkok, there will be a press conference and public forum to discuss lese majeste law and the right to bail to coincide with Somyot Prueksakasemsuk’s next application for bail.
