Three Thai democracy activists charged with insulting monarchy
Trio denied bail as government steps up legal fight against protest movement
Three prominent Thai pro-democracy figures have been denied bail in a Bangkok court after being charged with insulting the monarchy, as the government escalates a legal offensive against a youth-led movement that emerged last year.
The three activists – Panusaya “Rung” Sithijirawattanakul, Panupong “Mike” Jadnok and Jatupat “Pai” Boonpattararaksa – were charged with violating royal defamation laws over a rally in central Bangkok in September, said Prayut Pecharakun, a spokesman for the attorney general.
