Активист Промсорн начал голодовку без воды в тюрьме Таи из-за отказа в залоге

Prachatai reports that, on 1 September 2026, activist Promsorn Veerathamjaree began dry fasting after over 60 days of hunger strike and being repeatedly denied bail. Promsorn is currently detained pending appeal on six Article 112 counts, “two of which are now before the Supreme Court and two in the Appeal Court.” On 29 August, his mother and lawyers filed a bail request for him. The Supreme Court denied the request. It was said to be his fifth application. Promsorn told a lawyer who visited him on 31 August that, after 2 months of hunger strike, he has decided that he will start dry fasting. Thai Newsroom reports that People’s Party MP Rangsiman Rome has “agreed to coordinate assistance for Mr. Phromsorn … who is being detained at Thanyaburi District Prison … after being on a hunger strike since July 1 and stopped drinking water since Aug. 31…”. The report states that “Rangsiman received a complaint from Ms. Kumklao Songsomboon, a lawyer and case manager at the Human Rights Lawyers Centre, requesting an investigation into Thanyaburi District Prison for not transferring Phromsorn to an outside medical facility for treatment.” The lawyer said “she had sent a letter to Thanyaburi District Prison requesting that Phromsorn be transferred from the Correctional Department hospital to another hospital outside the prison with 24-hour medical care and emergency medical equipment to prevent a tragedy…”. Rangsiman “said that this situation is worrying… As chairman of the House Committee on Law, Justice, and Human Rights he said he would discuss this issue with the committee to find a solution.” Social media reports appeared shortly after saying Promsorn was transferred from the Thanyaburi District Prison to the Corrections Hospital.
