Aussie Red Shirt protester claims he was beaten in Thai prison

Jailed Red Shirt protester Conor Purcell wants to return to Thailand.

An Australian man deported from Thailand after supporting anti-government Red Shirt protesters says he was beaten in prison and feared the Thai government would plant drugs on him.

Conor Purcell arrived in Sydney this morning after more than three months in prison.

He said he intended to return to Thailand but was critical of the support he had received from the Australian government while in prison.
