(Photo by Apichit Jinakul)Human rights lawyer Anon Nampa and student activist Panupong "Mike" Jadnok have been released after police cancelled their detention requests. In Mr Panupong's case, the court did not revoke his bail but required 200,000 baht in cash as a surety. Refusing to give up their fundamental rights for freedom, Mr Anon did not re-apply for bail and Mr Panupong did not put up the money so both ended up in cells at Bangkok Remand Prison. In a statement, police claimed they have acted within the legal framework and refrained from using violence in dealing with them.
