BANGKOK - A small group of Thai activists protested at a psychiatric hospital on Friday over the admission of a man they believed was being held against his will after wearing a t-shirt that said he had lost faith in the monarchy.

"He is getting treatment, his relatives had him admitted,"Khon Kaen's police chief, Major General Puttipong Musikul, said.Mr Nattakorn Champathong, director of the Rajanagarindra Psychiatric Hospital in the northeastern city, told Reuters that Tiwagorn had not been forced to enter the hospital. Human rights lawyer Yingcheep Atchanont, who visited Tiwagorn on Monday, said he believed the engineer had been held against his will at the hospital since July 9.

"If he has not harmed anyone, I see no reason why he could not be released," Somyot Prueksakasemsuk, a political activist who attended the protest, said by phone.
