Surin Kethom visited the Justice Ministry with her lawyer, Ronnarong Kaewpet, to submit a petition asking for justice for her son, Prompanya Kethom. Prompanya was taken from the prison to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. The Corrections Department’s deputy director general visited the prison and ordered the transfer of its chief, Somboon Puttachart. It caused prison overcrowding as a large number of those convicted could not afford the fines. The family asked why the video of the incident had not been shown and why the department had already punished those involved.
