Jailed activists Tantawan Tuatulanon and Orawan Phupong are demanding lese-majesty law be repealed

Two young Thai activists accused of insulting the monarchy are in a weak, exhausted condition and experiencing symptoms such as nosebleeds and chest pain after a hunger strike during which they have only sipped water, according to their lawyer and doctors.

Since then, at least 1,888 people have been prosecuted for their political expressions or taking part in protests, including 283 under-18s, according to Thai Lawyers for Human Rights. Among these cases are 215 people accused of breaching the lese-majesty law. Tantawan and Orawan, who are calling for the law to be repealed as well as other changes, including for other activists to be released on bail, began refusing food and water on 18 January. They were hospitalised two days later.

Orawan was weak, had headaches when changing posture, dry lips, chest burn and gas in the stomach. She had received potassium replacement treatment and was sipping water, it said, but had not eaten.

Power stations ‘blown up’ as renewables take overSky News host Paul Murray says “power station after power station” has been “blown up” as activists push for renewable energy sources to take over as soon as possible. Yes all part of the WEF globalist plan to ensure the rich get richer and the people poorer. Funniest bit is society are so braindead and believe all the lies and it’s then that will suffer big time. If Energy rationing occurs will cities get priority over country where the energy is produced? Maybe we could build a massive skyscraper battery in the city centres clad in solar panels with windmills on top of each building. Maybe just vote for MPs Who say not in my countryside. The green movement will be far more destructive than the small amount of carbon emissions that Australia emits. Time to fight back against the Green BS.
