Pawat LaopaisarntaksinPolice issued a second summons on Tuesday =to 38 of 39 demonstrators who protested on a skywalk near Pathumwan intersection on Jan 27 against a recently announced delay to the upcoming general election. They were worried that a press conference here would breach security laws and constitute an illegal assembly," said Ms Nuttaa, who is among 39 activists. Ms Nuttaa said the activists had been charged with several misdemeanours and their bail was set at 60,000 baht each or more. "The lawyer told us that nine of the 39 are considered leaders and will have to pay upwards of 200,000 baht per person for bail. "If I can't report the perspective of those who support democracy, it will be considered a cover-up both domestically and internationally."
