Hours after being bailed on sedition and sundry other bogus charges, human rights lawyer Arnon Nampa spoke at a rally in Chiang Mai.
Further upping its rightist line, the Bangkok Post refers to Arnon as having “led a discussion at a subversive protest on the monarchy’s role in Thailand” a week ago. Have the owners and board taken control of the editorial desks?

Other anti-government protests were held in Phitsanulok and Mahasarakham.
