Bangkok –
A detained prominent pro-democracy protest leader, Panusaya “Rung” Sithijirawattanakul, declared a hunger strike for the first day today, March 31st, opposing what she claimed to be the injustice of the Thai judicial system.
Rung will be the second protest leader who performs a hunger strike after Parit “Penguin” Chiwarak, who started the strike on March 15th. Both are calling for release on bail of all detained activists by the Thai Criminal Court.
According to the United Front of Thammasat and Demonstration, Rung will gradually use a fasting method to help her body adjust to the strike.
Meanwhile, Penguin, who was already on his 15 days of the strike, was reportedly in a weak physical condition and must be in a wheelchair most of the time. However, he stated he was fully motivated with hope from pro-democracy activists who were gathering to take a stand and oppose what they believe to be the injustice of the Thai government system.
