Appeal Court Upholds Prison Sentences for June 2020 Protest Leaders
An appeals court has upheld prison sentences for four protest leaders convicted in connection with June 2020 anti-government demonstrations, including three years for burning a police vehicle at Din Daeng station.
An appeals court has upheld the original trial court's sentences for four protest participants involved in the June 11, 2020 anti-government demonstrations. Wachirapon ("Arm"), Jatupol ("Tom"), and Nathapol ("Bank") were each sentenced to three years imprisonment for burning a police vehicle at Din Daeng police station, while Pholpol ("Keng") received one year and four months for failing to disperse from an unlawful assembly. The court found the prosecution's evidence credible and rejected the defendants' appeals, citing insufficient grounds to overturn the original verdicts. The defendants have been remanded in custody pending further bail hearings and potential further appeal.
