Two pro-democracy activists leave hospital, continue hunger strike

Pro-democracy activists Tantawan “Tawan” Tuatulanon and Orawan “Bam” Phuphong left Thammasat University Hospital for the Supreme Court on Friday and insisted they will continue their hunger strike — now in its 38th day — until all their demands are met.

Ms Tantawan, 21, and Ms Orawan, 23, released a letter saying they intend to continue fasting until those in power accept the rights of the accused and defendants in political cases to be granted bail during their trials.
