BANGKOK – A Thai rights activist detained on royal defamation charges died on May 14 while on hunger strike in custody, the kingdom’s department of corrections said.
She was charged under Thailand’s tough lese majeste – or royal insult – laws over a royal motorcade protest in 2020 during the peak of the kingdom’s youth-led pro-democracy movement. The 28-year-old Netiporn went on hunger strike shortly after detention to protest against the Thai justice system, and was immediately transferred to the medical correctional hospital over health concerns.
