BANGKOK (The Nation Thailand/ANN): Amnesty International Thailand has urged the Thai government to drop the charges filed against two men who are members of a political network in Rayong province after they held up signs with aggressive political messages near the D Varee Diva Central Hotel in Rayong province on Wednesday (July 15) when Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha was visiting the province.

Both men were reportedly arrested while holding up signs slamming the premier for allowing “privileged” foreigners to enter Thailand and skip Covid-19 quarantine.
