Tiwagorn Withiton, the political and human rights activist recently hospitalised in Khon Kaen after speaking out about Wanchalearm Satsaksit's disappearance, was released on Wednesday. A Khon Kaen Psychiatry Hospital official told the Bangkok Post that Mr Tiwagorn, 47, had spent 14 days "receiving treatment". On July 9, Mr Tiwagorn was seized by six hospital personnel and handcuffed by a soldier from Internal Security Operations Command at his home. Earlier that day, Mr Tiwagorn had posted on his social media account that officials had come his house and asked many questions about his mental health. Since being released, Mr Tiwagorn has remained silent on social media.
