Protesters weak after nearly month-long hunger strike


TWO Thai protesters being held under the kingdom’s tough royal insult laws are growing extremely weak after nearly three weeks on hunger strike, a hospital report said.

Tantawan Tuatulanon and Orawan Phupong have refused food and most liquids for the past 20 days to urge political parties to support the abolition of Thailand’s lese majeste laws, as well as other justice reforms.
