The arrest was made under a warrant issued by the Phatthalung Provincial Court on August 28, 2023 and followed yet another complaint from a member of an ultra-royalist vigilante group filed with the Khuan Khanun Police Station.The case stems from social media posts and messages in September 2022.
Jiradee was taken to Phatthalung to be charged, before being sent to the court for detention, where the court later granted her bail.
In February 2023, Jiradee had received a summons from the Khuan Khanun Police Station and in March 2023 she met the investigator as summoned, with the police questioning her as a witness. Following that, there was no further summons or contact from the police. Jiradee did not know that the court had requested an arrest warrant.
