(Photo courtesy of Thai Lawyers for Human Rights)The Court of Appeal has approved bail for northeastern activist Jatupat “Pai” Boonyapattaraksa in two cases for a surety of 70,000 baht each. Earlier, the Criminal Court denied him bail twice, describing his actions as seditious and citing a likely repeat of such behaviours. The Court of Appeal already approved his temporary release on bail but he has yet to apply for it. A number of youth protesters arranged to meet in front of the prison to demand the releases of their friends and welcome Mr Jatupat on Saturday evening.
