Court rejects bail appeal by activist ‘Pai Dao Din’

THE Region IV Court of Appeal in Khon Kaen yesterday rejected a petition by pro-democracy activist Jatupat Boonpatararaksa, who is better known as “Pai Dao Din”, which sought to block the revoking of his bail. In a video-conference hearing, the court upheld the bail revocation on the grounds that Jatupat had shown a “lack of consideration” regarding state authority and the law, and that he might tamper with evidence if released.
