BANGKOK -- Thai protest leader Panusaya "Rung" Sithijirawattanakul was granted bail on Thursday, after being held in pretrial detention for 59 days on lese-majeste charges. Two other leading pro-democracy activists remain in jail despite their deteriorating health.
Panusaya, who has been a key figure in Thailand's pro-democracy movement since mid-2020, was released from the Central Women's Correctional Institute.
