He was charged under the law of referendum and junta order for his public speech in Khon Khaen in 2016, and granted bail. As Rangsiman refused to provide his fingerprints to the police, he was also charged with obstructing the criminal justice procedure. The charges followed their assembly near MBK shopping centre on January 27, demanding that the National Council for Peace and Order hold the long-delayed election by this year as promised earlier. On Saturday, the four activists showed up at another pro-election assembly held near Democracy Monument, with more than 200 police officers providing tight security. Another activist, Piyarat Chongthep, who brought a pickup truck equipped with speakers to the assembly, was fined Bt200 for wrongful use of speakers before being released.
