Rung-Benja sent a letter asking for bail rights because being in prison has been a serious obstacle to study pointing out that imprisonment is useless Pol Pot also destroys the future.
From the case on November 26, 2021 at the Southern Bangkok Criminal Court There was an appointment to protect the rights in the case of 112, a rally wearing a crop top. at Siam Paragon, with Ms. Benja Apan, Ms. Panassaya Sitthijirawatanakul or Rung, Mr. Panupong Jadnok or Mike, Mr. Preit Chiwarak or Penguin and one defendant, a total of five, were indicted, of which all five denied, while four detained defendants said they were not entitled to full consultation with a lawyer. ask the court to record The court made an appointment to examine witnesses on January 24, 2022.
Later, Facebook Panassaya Sitthichirawatanakul has published their own handwritten letter Along with signing with Benja Apan, which is the content of the message that has been announced to the court that
My name is Benja Apan, 22 years old, a student at the Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology. at Thammasat University and Rung Panassaya Sitthichirawatanakul, 23 years old, are students of the Faculty of Sociology and Anthropology. at Thammasat University as well.
I have been detained at the Central Women’s Penitentiary for 50 days and Rainbow for 12 days without being granted bail even though we never thought of escaping. tangle with evidence or never going to cause any other danger
Reasons for detaining mice several times in the black case 373/2564, some argue that they are waiting for the submission of the case. Some argue that they are in the process of proposing an expression. or wait for the rhetoric to be sent to the supervisor which the mouse is not an obstacle to this part of the process. Therefore, each time the rats are kept in captivity, it is of no use. It also takes away the freedom from a human who has not been convicted of wrongdoing. The freedom of the rats depends on the length of time in the work of the shifting government officials. The court doing this as if the rats had committed a crime
Rung was also detained pending trial at the Southern Bangkok Criminal Court in the crop-top case, although other defendants In this case, he was bail. Benja, for example, was one of the defendants who were also released on bail in the case.
The court detaining us like this causing us to face serious obstacles in learning Rung was also in the middle of doing group research with friends. Can’t continue and in 1 week Thammasat University will have a final exam. which is a very important exam And I think the court would understand well because I was a student before too. And if the court suspects that if we are very interested in studying Then why go out and do political activities?
I would like to answer to the court that that the rats come to study for knowledge Because we want to use the knowledge we have to develop and create society. I studied mechanical engineering in order to continue my career in aerospace engineering. because he saw that the space industry space industry or learning about space in Thailand Still lagging and need to be developed a lot. Therefore, I would like to apply the knowledge that I have studied to develop Thailand. to be on par with foreign countries such as Japan
Rung chose to study at the Faculty of Sociology and Anthropology. because I believe to solve social problems We need to have an understanding of humans first. As the philosophy of the Rat group that “understand, respect, change” is to understand human, cultural, social, respect for diversity. and can change society in a better way and no matter what state We aim to use knowledge All the abilities we have to help improve society. because we cannot be alone If there is a disorder in this society to hold back the prosperity of our country All we do is because we dream of a better society. that’s all
And we want to tell the court that Putting the mice in that prison If the court still views the rats as criminals that pose a threat to national security I would have to ask the court. Why are so many people calling for the release of the rats, including ordinary people, artists, representatives or rights organizations like Amnesty? Many branches around the world, such as Australia, Taiwan, the United States, the United Kingdom, and many other countries have called for an end to unfair prosecution and their release. The rats, or the UN, have also expressed concern about the prosecution of protesters in our country.
In the letter further described, imprisoning them like this It’s not useful at all. If only to take away their freedom and destroy their future. To maintain the interests of those who do not want us to come out and criticize. and express political opinions only Locking them up doesn’t stop people from wanting change. It also undermines the confidence of the Thai people and the eyes of the international community. to the courts and the judicial process of Thailand as well
“At the end of this Today is Rights Protection Day. So I would also like to ask the court to protect our rights to bail.” which was written at the Southern Bangkok Criminal Court
