Her death is a shocking reminder that Thai authorities are denying activists their right to temporary release on bail and using detention to silence the peaceful expression of dissent.<br><br><strong>Netiporn &#8216;Bung&#8217; Sanesangkhom<\/strong>&nbsp;died today in Bangkok, Thailand, from health complications after a 110- day hunger strike, protesting her detention since 27 January 2024 and the authorities&#8217; consistent refusal to grant temporary release on bail to her and other activists. This is a grim day for Thai society, highlighting the severe judicial harassment and the justice system&#8217;s failure to recognize basic human rights. Speaking out should not lead to death; it should inspire change.<br><br>We extend our heartfelt condolences to Bung&#8217;s family and friends. This tragic incident should serve as a wake-up call to Thai authorities to release all human rights defenders and activists who are unjustly detained and to respect their right to bail. We call on the authorities to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation into Netiporn\u2019s death and to ensure that such a tragedy never happens again.<br><br>Amnesty International Thailand demands immediate action to protect the rights, grants rights to bail and to uphold justice and human rights in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amnesty.or.th\/about-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u0e40\u0e23\u0e35\u0e22\u0e19\u0e23\u0e39\u0e49\u0e40\u0e1e\u0e34\u0e48\u0e21\u0e40\u0e15\u0e34\u0e21\u0e40\u0e01\u0e35\u0e48\u0e22\u0e27\u0e01\u0e31\u0e1a\u0e41\u0e2d\u0e21\u0e40\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e15\u0e35\u0e49<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amnesty.or.th\/donate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u0e1a\u0e23\u0e34\u0e08\u0e32\u0e04\u0e2a\u0e19\u0e31\u0e1a\u0e2a\u0e19\u0e38\u0e19\u0e41\u0e2d\u0e21\u0e40\u0e19\u0e2a\u0e15\u0e35\u0e49<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amnesty International Thailand expresses its deepest condolences following the tragic death of&nbsp;Netiporn &#8216;Bung&#8217; Sanesangkhom, an online English Teacher and pro-democracy activist, who passed away in detention at a correctional hospital after a prolonged hunger strike.
